In this work we consider smooth orthonormal factorizations of smooth matrix-valued functions of constant rank. In particular, we look at Schur, singular value, and related decompositions. Furthermore, we consider the case in which the functions are periodic and study periodicity of the factors. We allow for eigenvalues and singular values to coalesce.
