Abstract
We show that some of the best-known matrix decompositions of some of the best-known random matrix ensembles give us the unique $G$-invariant uniform distributions on some of the best-known manifolds. The eigenvectors distributions of the Gaussian, Laguerre, and Jacobi ensembles are all given by the uniform distribution on the complete flag manifold. The singular vectors distributions of Ginibre ensembles are given by the uniform distribution on a product of the complete flag manifold with a Stiefel manifold. Circular ensembles split into two types: The cosine-sine vectors distributions of circular real, unitary, and quaternionic ensembles are given by the uniform distributions on products of a (partial) flag manifold with copies of the orthogonal, unitary, or compact symplectic groups. The Autonne--Takagi vectors distributions of circular orthogonal, Lagrangian, and symplectic ensembles are given by the uniform distributions on Lagrangian Grassmannians.
