SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on constructing the neutrino mixing matrix \( U_s \) using the rotation matrices derived from the SO(5) rotation group as outlined in equations 3 and 4 of the paper referenced (arXiv:0707.2481v1). The user initially encountered issues with sign discrepancies in the matrix formulation. The solution provided involves transposing each rotation matrix before multiplication to ensure the correct signs are applied. The final output is a complex matrix that represents the mixing angles and phases accurately.

I am facing problem to write the matrix Us

Can anybody help me to write the complete matrix?

I think I understand how to write it, but I feel like I'm getting some different minus signs. Basically you want the SO(5) rotation group, and matrices for one direction about another (plane, or whatever its called).

If you look at http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/RotationMatrix.html
Under Applications, they show how to generate the matrix form for a rotation in SO[N]. Then you take these and multiply them how they have it in the paper, order obviously matters.

I do:
Code: 
SO[n_] := Map[RotationMatrix[\[Theta], #] &,    Subsets[Table[UnitVector[n, i], {i, n}], {2}]];
SO5MAP = Map[ MatrixForm, SO[5]];
\[Theta][a_, b_] := Subscript[\[CapitalTheta], a, b]
R12 = SO5MAP[[1]] /. {MatrixForm[x_] :> x} /. { \[Theta] -> \[Theta][      1, 2]};
R13 = SO5MAP[[2]] /. {MatrixForm[x_] :> x} /. { \[Theta] -> \[Theta][      1, 3]};
R23 = SO5MAP[[5]] /. {MatrixForm[x_] :> x} /. { \[Theta] -> \[Theta][      2, 3]};
R14 = SO5MAP[[3]] /. {MatrixForm[x_] :> x} /. { \[Theta] -> \[Theta][      1, 4]};
R15 = SO5MAP[[4]] /. {MatrixForm[x_] :> x} /. { \[Theta] -> \[Theta][      1, 5]};
R24 = SO5MAP[[6]] /. {MatrixForm[x_] :> x} /. { \[Theta] -> \[Theta][      2, 4]};
R25 = SO5MAP[[7]] /. {MatrixForm[x_] :> x} /. { \[Theta] -> \[Theta][      2, 5]};
R34 = SO5MAP[[8]] /. {MatrixForm[x_] :> x} /. { \[Theta] -> \[Theta][      3, 4]};
R35 = SO5MAP[[9]] /. {MatrixForm[x_] :> x} /. { \[Theta] -> \[Theta][      3, 5]};
R45 = SO5MAP[[10]] /. {MatrixForm[x_] :> x} /. { \[Theta] -> \[Theta][      4, 5]};
ROT = R45.(R35.(R34.(R25.(R24.(R15.(R14.(R23.(R13.R12))))))));
ROT /. {Cos[Subscript[\[CapitalTheta], a_, b_]] -> Subscript[c, a, b],     Sin[Subscript[\[CapitalTheta], a_, b_]] -> Subscript[s, a, b]} //   Simplify // MatrixForm

The output looks like

<br /> \left(<br /> \begin{array}{ccccc}<br /> c_{1,2} c_{1,3} c_{1,4} c_{1,5} &amp; -c_{1,3} c_{1,4} c_{1,5} s_{1,2} &amp; -c_{1,4} c_{1,5} s_{1,3} &amp; -c_{1,5} s_{1,4} &amp; -s_{1,5} \\<br /> c_{2,3} c_{2,4} c_{2,5} s_{1,2}-c_{1,2} \left(c_{2,4} c_{2,5} s_{1,3} s_{2,3}+c_{1,3} \left(c_{2,5} s_{1,4} s_{2,4}+c_{1,4} s_{1,5} s_{2,5}\right)\right) &amp;

again, I am not sure where there is a sign difference.
 
Thanks a loooooooooooot ! :)
 
Ah actually what you need to do is take the transpose of each of those matrices, then you get what's right:

R12 = Transpose[SO5MAP[[1]]] /. {MatrixForm[x_] :> x} /. { \[Theta] -> \[Theta][1, 2]};

The transpose is what you want, and then apply those in order. The signs will be correct then.
 
Thanks again. I realized that too. So did not check recently.
