Automorphism group of the special unitary group $SU(N)$

Let us consider the automorphism group of the special unitary group $G=SU(N)$. We know there is an exact sequence: $$ 0 \to \text{Inn}(G) \to \text{Aut}(G) \to \text{Out}(G) \to 0. $$ For $G=SU(2)...

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 ...
