The Blaschke–Petkantschin formula is a geometric measure decomposition of the q-fold product of Lebesgue measure on ℝn. Here we discuss another decomposition called polar decomposition by considering ℝn×⋯×ℝn as ℳn×k and using its polar decomposition. This is a generalisation of the Blaschke–Petkantschin formula and may be useful when one needs to integrate a function g:ℝn×⋯×ℝn→ℝ with rotational symmetry, that is, for each orthogonal transformation O,g(O(x1),…,O(xk))=g(x1,…xk). As an application we compute the moments of a Gaussian determinant.
