The Stiefel manifolds are presented in this Wikipedia article over the division algebras $\mathbb{R,C,H}$. In fact, they are presented as homogeneous spaces, respectively for the $A,B,C$,and $D$ ...

For the three exceptional compact Lie groups $E_8, E_7, E_6$ we have the inclusions $$ E_6 \subseteq E_7 \subseteq E_8. $$ What can we say about the the homogeneous spaces $$ E_8/E_7, ~~~~ E_7/E_6? $$ ...

Let $G$ be a finite-dimensional connected real Lie group and $\mathfrak{g}$ its Lie algebra. Let $\exp : \mathfrak{g} \to G$ denote the exponential map. Among the results proved independently by ...

$\newcommand\norm[1]{\lVert#1\rVert}$Given any point $p$ of a smooth Riemannian manifold $M$ there exists $r\in (0,\infty]$ such that the Riemannian exponential is a diffeomorphism in the geodesic ...

First let us look at an example. Let $G=\text{SL}(d,\mathbb R)$ and $A$ be its subgroup consisting of diagonal matrices with positive entries. Let $a\in A$ be an element. We define the stable ...

I frequently see in the literature (of homogeneous dynamics, in particular) of the notion "semisimple Lie groups without compact factors" without seeing its precise definition. I have three (...
