The two-dimensional special orthogonal group #
Over a commutative ring containing an element i with i ^ 2 = -1 and a chosen half, the
special orthogonal group of the standard form in dimension two is the unit group. The
equivalence sends
!![a, b; -b, a] to the unit a + i * b.
This is the elementary matrix form of the splitness of the even-dimensional standard
orthogonal group in rank one. Keeping the explicit formulas available is useful when a
one-parameter family in SO₂ must be evaluated over a Laurent polynomial ring.
