How special are homogeneous spaces?

Let $M$ be a smooth finite dimensional manifold, how restrictive is it to require $M$ to admit a smooth action by a finite dimensional Lie group $G$? Related questions/approaches: Of course we need $\...

Homogeneous metric connections on 3-dimensional Lie groups

Let $G$ be a 3-dimensional unimodular Lie group equipped with a left-invariant metric $q$. Call $P_{SO}$ its oriented orthonormal frame bundle. Considering the moduli space of connections $\mathscr{B}$...

Subgroups of $E(n) = \mathbb{R}^n \rtimes O(n)$ with trivial orbit space

Let G be a subgroup of $E(n) = \mathbb{R}^n \rtimes O(n)$(the rigid motions of $\mathbb{R}^n$ ) with orbit space as a point. Example: the group of all translations of $\mathbb{R}^n$ and of course any ...

From the representation category of a Lie group and the representation on a homogeneous space, can we reconstruct the stabiliser subgroup reps?

Given a Lie group $G$ and a transitive action $- \triangleright - : G \times X \to X$ on a homogeneous space, we can recover the stabiliser subgroup $H_x$ of a point $x \in X$. It is the subgroup of $...
