Given that $U(n)$ is a smooth manifold I would like to know if there is a way of building a representation of $\text{Diff}(U(n))$ once you pick a particular (finite dimensional) representation of $U(n)...

Background: As shown in [1] and [2], for a closed smooth submanifold $M$ of $\mathbb R^d$, the domain $D_M$ of the projection map $P_M:D_M\rightarrow M$ has a dense interior $\Omega_M$ over which $P_M|...

Let $G$ be a simple compact Lie group and $H$ a closed subgroup. Let $\mathfrak{h}\subset \mathfrak{g}$ denote the corresponding Lie algebras. Let $\mathfrak{m}$ be an orthogonal complement to $\...

I'm trying to break the classification of locally riemannian symmetric spaces to little steps to make it more comprehensible (and s.t. the technical details can be verified without drowning completely)...
