I guess so. Just to make the list of possibilities more complete, to prevent 
multiple copies (since we're dealing with an identity matrix) and to have no 
construction at run-time at all,

struct A {
    static ublas::identity_matrix<double> qt;
};

ublas::identity_matrix<double> A::qt = ublas::identity_matrix<double>(3);
