Why is  $O(n;k)$ not connected and has four connected components when $nk\ge 1$? Here $O(n;k) =\{A\in GL(n+k,\mathbb{C}) \mid A^{T}GA=G\}$$O(n;k) =\{A\in GL(n+k,\mathbb{R}) \mid A^{T}GA=G\}$

where $G=\begin{pmatrix} 1&&&&&\\ &\ddots& & & &\\ &&1&& &\\ && &-1& &\\ && & &\ddots &\\ && & & &-1 \end{pmatrix}$,

with $n$ instances of $1$, and $k$ instances of $-1$.
