Jan 26, 2016 at 12:54 | comment | added | Matthias Ludewig | This would be the kind of answer I would be interested in. Is $U$ a dense subset? Probably one could characterize its complement by equations? I edited the post above. | |

Jan 26, 2016 at 12:30 | comment | added | Robert Bryant | You should say what you mean by 'characterize'. The set of 6-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{R}^{3\times 3}$ is a compact manifold $\mathrm{Gr}(3,6)$ of dimension $18$, and it's clear (because of the examples already given) that the set of 6-dimensional spaces that don't meet $\mathrm{O}(3)$ is a (nonempty) open set $U\subset \mathrm{Gr}(3,6)$, so you are asking for a 'characterization' of an open subset in $\mathrm{Gr}(3,6)$. It can't be by equations, but maybe by some kind of inequality that defines the boundary of the set $U$ in $\mathrm{Gr}(3,6)$. Is that the sort of answer you seek? | |
