Orthogonal complements in Hilbert bundles
It's a standard fact that for a finite-dimensional vector bundle with an inner product, the othogonal complement of any subbundle is itself a locally trivial vector bundle.
What is known about the ...

Is the Moebius strip Riemannian homogeneous?
Let $ M $ be the Moebius band. In other words, the total space of the nontrivial line bundle over the circle. Can we equip $ M $ with a metric such the the isometry group acts transitively?
My ...

noncompact Riemannian homogeneous is trivial vector bundle over compact homogeneous
Is it true that a manifold $ E $ admits a metric with respect to which the isometry group is transitive ($ E $ is Riemannian homogeneous) if and only if $ E $ is the total space of a $ K $ equivariant ...

Invertible (isometric) sections of certain hom bundles over sphere
Assume that we have a vector bundle $E$ over $S^n$.
Is there a continuous family of invertible linear maps $T_x:E_x \to E_{-x}$?
Here continuity has the obvious meaning as soon as ...
