I'm not sure if this question belongs to here, but here it goes

Suppose you have to integrate over a lie group in the fundamental representation. If you pass to the adjoint representation of that group, does the Haar measure have to change? I think that it should not change because it is invariant under left and right translations, is it correct?

Integrate what?

Some function f: G -> ℝ, where G is the Lie group. For example, the Itzykson-Zuber integral

∫dUexp(-tr(XUYU)), where X, Y are n x n hermitean matrices and U ∈ U(n)
 
Hello! There is a simple line in the textbook. If ##S## is a manifold, an injectively immersed submanifold ##M## of ##S## is embedded if and only if ##M## is locally closed in ##S##. Recall the definition. M is locally closed if for each point ##x\in M## there open ##U\subset S## such that ##M\cap U## is closed in ##U##. Embedding to injective immesion is simple. The opposite direction is hard. Suppose I have ##N## as source manifold and ##f:N\rightarrow S## is the injective...
