contents In this article, we propose a unified framework for preconditioned Riemannian gradient (P-RG) methods to minimize Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) energy functionals with rotation on a Riemannian manifold. This framework enables comprehensive analysis of existing projected Sobolev gradient methods and facilitates the construction of highly efficient P-RG algorithms. Under mild assumptions on the preconditioner, we prove energy dissipation and global convergence. Local convergence is more challenging due to phase and rotational invariances. Assuming the GP functional is Morse-Bott, we derive a sharp Polyak-Łojasiewicz (PL) inequality near minimizers. This allows precise characterization of the local convergence rate via the condition number $μ/L$, where $μ$ and $L$ are the lower and upper bounds of the spectrum of a combined operator (preconditioner and Hessian) on a closed subspace. By combining spectral analysis with the PL inequality, we identify a quasi-optimal preconditioner achieving the best possible local convergence rate: $(L-μ)/(L+μ)+\varepsilon$ ($\varepsilon>0$ small). To our knowledge, this is the first rigorous derivation of the local convergence rate for P-RG methods applied to GP functionals with two symmetry structures. Numerical experiments on rapidly rotating Bose-Einstein condensates validate the theoretical results and compare the performance of different preconditioners.
