Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over an algebraicalgebraically closed field $k$. By the Bruhat decomposition, $P \backslash G/P \cong W_P \backslash W / W_P$ is a finite set for any parabolic subgroup $P$ of $G$, so. So there areis some connectionsconnection between the combinatorics of thethe Weyl group and the geometry of the orbits.
Now consider two closed subgroupsubgroups $H_i$ of $G$, when is $ H_1 \backslash G / H_2$ finite? In such case, can we describe the $H_1$-orbits in $G/H_2$ using some group theoretic datas or combinatoric datas in general?.
When is $ H_1 \backslash G / H_2$ finite? In such cases, can we describe the $H_1$-orbits in $G/H_2$ using some group theoretic data or combinatoric data in general?
If $H_1$ is a Borel subgroup, the finiteness is equivalent to that $G/H_2$ isbeing a spherical variety. And things become trivial if $H_1=G$. If $H_1=H_2$, is the finiteness equivalent to that $H_1=H_2$ is a parabolic subgroup? For low rank $G$, can we classify all such pair $(H_1,H_2)$?
