Specify the embedding of special unitary group in a Spin group via their representation map
How do we specify the embedding of a Lie group $G_1$ as a subgroup into a larger Lie group $G_2$, with $G_1 \subset G_2$ that agree with a constraint on the mapping between their representations?
By ...

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the Lie group embedding $G \supset J$ can be lifted to $G$'s covering space [closed]
Suppose the Lie group $G$ contains the Lie group $J$ as a subgroup, so
$$
G \supset J.
$$
If $G$ has a nontrivial first homotopy group $\pi_1(G) \neq 0$.
If $G$ has a universal cover $\widetilde{G}$, ...

Explicit example of an equivariant embedding of $U(n)/( U(k) \times U(n-k))$ into a finite dimensional $U(n)$-representation
We know that if $H$ is a closed subgroup of a compact Lie group $G$ one can find a finite dimensional $G$-representation $V$ and an element $v_0 \in V$ such that $\textrm{Stab}(v_0)= H$. This gives a $...
