Abstract: Let X and Y be two nxn Hermitian matrices. In the article "Proof of a conjectured exponential formula" (Linear and Multilinear Algebra (19) 1986, 187-197) R. C. Thompson proved that there exist two nxn unitary matrices U and V such that ${\displaystyle }$ e^{i X}e^{i Y}=e^{i (UXU^*+VBV^*)}. ${\displaystyle }$ In this note we consider extensions of this result to compact operators as well as to operators in an embeddable II${}_1$ factor.
