The Euclidean geometry of cardinal welfare functions

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

We exploit the standard inner product of Euclidean space to provide a new direction from which one can understand and analyze certain voting methods. Using this perspective along with the action of the symmetric and special orthogonal groups on the vector space of profiles, we extend some natural voting criteria to ballots of arbitrary composition type.
