The passage around this formula

The covariance equation from the previous section is the formal cost of that fact. Because V commutes with the group action, the radiation’s reduced state along the true heading is a rotated copy of the same state at heading zero, ρrad(g)=Urad(g) ρrad(0) Urad(g)†\rho_{\mathrm{rad}}(g) = U_{\mathrm{rad}}(g)\,\rho_{\mathrm{rad}}(0)\,U_{\mathrm{rad}}(g)^\dagger. which is a genuine constraint, not a simplifying choice: FQF_Q[ρrad(g)\rho_{\mathrm{rad}}(g)] is therefore identical at every point along this orbit, since the quantum Fisher information depends only on the local geometry of the state family under the generator, and a rotated copy of the same family has the same local geometry everywhere. tG(δ)t_G(\delta) does not depend on which heading is being estimated. That is the covariance check this construction owes…
