For studying symmetries of certain PDEs, it would be convenient if a certain type of group existed.
I am looking for a closed subgroup $G$ of the the orthogonal group $O(n)$ along with a continuous homomorphism $\phi : G\to \mathbb{Z}_2$$\phi : G\to \mathbb{Z}_2 = \{-1, 1\}$ such that
- If $x\in\mathbb{R}^n,\, x\ne 0$ then $\operatorname{dim}(Gx) > 0$.
- $\phi : G\to \mathbb{Z}_2$ is surjective.
- There exists $x\in \mathbb{R^n}$ such that $\{g\in G : gx = x\}\subseteq \operatorname{ker}\phi$.
I get the feeling such a group does not exist. As I am not great with groups/geometry, I was hoping someone could help lead me in the right direction (or direct me towards appropriate references).
