Cayley Transform: The Universal Bridge Across Real, Complex, and Hilbert Spaces

We follow Cayley’s transform from real homographies to complex disk models, mapping skew-symmetric matrices to unitary rotations, extending to quaternions, and finally to operators on Hilbert spaces. A single idea that tames infinity, links Poincaré models, and even finds engineering use in the Smith chart.
