Reconciling some result about the exponential map, the Chow-Rashevskii theorem, and $\mathrm{Diff}_0(M)$

Let $M$ be a $C^{\infty}$ manifold $C^{\infty}$-diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^d$. I've recently come across some results which I'm trying to reconcile. Let $\mathfrak{X}(M)$ denote the set of ...

Representation on square integrable sections of a principal bundle

Let $X\rightarrow Y$ be a smooth principal $G$-bundle for some Lie group $G$. Then $L^2(X)$ has a natural $G$-action determined by fibrewise action of $G$ on $X$. We have an abstract isomorphism of ...

Cotangent bundle of symmetric space is symmetric space?

Let $G$ be a connected Lie group. Then a symmetric space for $G$ is a homogeneous space $G/H$ where the stabilizer $H$ of a typical point is an open subgroup of the fixed point set of an involution ...

A question on Grassmannian

Let $V$ be the space of $4$ by $4$ Hermitian matrices, that is a vector space of dimension $16$ over $\mathbb{R}$. Is the uniform measure of $$ \left\{ W\in Gr\left(5,V\right):W \text{contains no ...
