Abstract
In this paper, we give an exact expression for Clarke generalized Jacobian of the projection onto symmetric cones, which generalizes and unifies the existing related results on second-order cones and the cones of symmetric positive semi-definite matrices over the reals. Our characterization of the Clarke generalized Jacobian exposes a connection to rank-one matrices.
