Let G = GLn(R), with the usual Cartan decomposition G = K exp(p0) and the usual Iwasawa decomposition G = NAK. We determine the image of exp(p0) under the projection of G to K through the Iwasawa decomposition. As an application, we prove a positivity result about the matrix coefficients of principal series representations of G.
Keywords: General linear group, Iwasawa decomposition, matrix coefficient, principal series representation.
