Skew symmetric subtracted from Identity
$begingroup$
How can I prove that for any skew-symmetric matrix $S$ with $S^T = -S$, $I - S$ is non-singular and $(I-S)^{-1}(I+S)$ is an orthogonal Matrix (cayley transform of S).

Are you asking if $(I-S)^{-1}(I-S)=I$ is orthogonal?

Thanks. So, just like $A^{-1}A$

Let $Sx=x $,then $S^TSx=S^Tx=-Sx=-x $. Since $S^TS $ is positive semidefinite, $-1$ is not an eigenvalue of $S^TS $, hence $x=0$.
$endgroup$

Can you explain how you equated $-S^Tx$ to -x?

$Sx=x$, hence $S^Tx=-Sx=-x$.

Can you also say why can you assume that Sx = x in the first place? Also, how x = 0 should that I-S is non-singular?

$begingroup$
$I-S$ is non-singular $ iff ker(I-S)={0}$. Now let $x in ker(I-S)$, then $Sx=x$. Above I have shown that this implies $x=0$. Hence $ ker(I-S)={0}$.

Alright, that makes sense! Thanks. Can you say, how can I prove orthogonality for (I-S)^-1 * (I+S). I just added this in the question.
