Matrices {unitary matrix} can have ones on diagonal and zeroes everywhere else. Products of two unitary matrices make a unitary matrix.
group
Mathematical groups have representations {representational theory, group} as sets of same-order square unitary matrices, whose determinants equal one. For groups, square unitary matrices make an orthonormal basis-vector set.
group: trace
Unitary-matrix traces are invariant under transformation. Traces characterize the mathematical group. All class members have same trace. Different class characters are orthogonal.
