$SU(k)/SO(k)$ as a manifold, for each positive integer $k$ [closed]
The quotient space $SU(k)/SO(k)$ is also a homogeneous space constructed out of the Lie groups (special unitary $SU(k)$ and special orthogonal $SO(k)$).
Because the $SO(k)$ may not be a normal ...

Is there a transitive Lie group action on the space of matrices with rank bigger than $k$?
$\newcommand{\GL}{\operatorname{GL}}$
Let $H_{>k}$ be the space of real $d \times d$ matrices of rank bigger than $k$, for some fixed $k$. $H_{>k}$ is an open connected submanifold of $ \mathbb{...
