Congruence and the change of variables on the symmetric subspace #
For a rectangular matrix M, congruence A ↦ M * A * Mᵀ is a linear map between symmetric
subspaces. For an invertible square matrix C, it is a continuous linear automorphism. In the
upper-triangular coordinates its determinant is
(det C) ^ (p + 1), so the congruence image of a set has |det C| ^ (p + 1) times its
TauCeti.symmetricLebesgue volume, and the pushforward of symmetricLebesgue is
(|det C| ^ (p + 1))⁻¹ • symmetricLebesgue. This change of variables supplies the
general-scale Wishart formulas.
The determinant is computed for an arbitrary square matrix M, not only invertible ones, with
the invertible case as a corollary. The underlying generic trace and determinant-pencil
identities for rectangular congruence are in TauCeti.LinearAlgebra.Matrix.Congruence.

Congruence by the identity is the identity.
Congruence by a product is the composite of the two congruences, the right factor acting first.
Undoing congruence by C is congruence by C⁻¹.
In the upper-triangular coordinates, congruence by C has determinant (det C) ^ (p + 1).
Congruence by C turns the trace against the inverse of the scale C * Cᵀ into the plain
trace: the two copies of C cancel against the inverse.
The pushforward of symmetricLebesgue under congruence by C is
(|det C| ^ (p + 1))⁻¹ • symmetricLebesgue; equivalently, the congruence image of a set has
|det C| ^ (p + 1) times its volume. This change of variables supplies the general-scale
Wishart formulas.

Congruence by an invertible matrix maps the positive-definite cone onto itself.
The change of variables of TauCeti.symmetricLebesgue under congruence, restricted to the
positive-definite cone: congruence by C leaves the cone invariant, so the restricted measure
picks up the same factor (|det C| ^ (p + 1))⁻¹ as the unrestricted one.

measurability hypothesis on f is needed, because congruence by C is a measurable
equivalence.
