The exponential map from selfadjoint to unitary

In this file, we establish various properties related to the map λ a, exp ℂ A (I • a) between the subtypes selfAdjoint A and unitary A.

TODO

• Show that any exponential unitary is path-connected in unitary A to 1 : unitary A.
• Prove any unitary whose distance to 1 : unitary A is less than 1 can be expressed as an exponential unitary.
• A unitary is in the path component of 1 if and only if it is a finite product of exponential unitaries.

The map from the selfadjoint real subspace to the unitary group. This map only makes sense over ℂ.
