Specify the embedding of Lie groups (via the representation map) precisely as the embedding of two differentiable manifolds

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 ...

What is the dimension of $M/G$ if it is a manifold and $G$ acts freely and smoothly?

Let $G$ be a Lie group acting smoothly and freely on a smooth manifold $M$. Suppose that the quotient space $M/G$ is a topological manifold. Do we have $$\dim(M/G)=\dim M-\dim G?$$ Notes: This ...

Criteria for density of subgroup of diffeomorphism group

Let $C^{\infty,\star}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ denote the non-commutative topological group of smooth diffeomorphisms from $\mathbb{R}^d$ to itself with $\circ$ as multiplication and let $\emptyset\subset X\...
