Measure on Hermitian matrices

On the space of Hermitian matrices measure is defined as a product of all the degrees of freedom of the Hermitian matrix

(1)

Last line is due to

(2)

Every matrix in is in one-to-one correspondence with the vector

(3)

Elements of as a vector can be referred to with a help of double index notation . The inner product on this vector space is as always

(4)

so it is actually

(5)

Unitary conjugation leaves this inner product unchanged

(6)

so it's an orthogonal transformation in . Any orthogonal map in has . Since is connected to the identity, . The bottom line is that Jacobian of coordinate transformation is 1.
