Euler angles for SU(n)

Thursday, October 20th, 2005

This paper, On the Euler angles for SU(N), gives a definition/derivation of Euler angles for SU(n). The paper claims that the construction first appeared in 2002. Does anyone know if that’s true? I thought for sure that I’d seen Euler angles defined for SU(n) (and SO(n)) sometime in the 90s.
