De Rham product decomposition theorem in a particular setting
Let $G$ be a Lie group, and $H$ a Lie subgroup of $G$ such that $G/H\sim \mathcal M$ is a homogeneous space diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^n$, equipped with an invariant Riemannian metric $g$. If this ...

Spherical roots, restricted roots, and the dual group of a symmetric variety
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$ and $G$ a semisimple simply-connected group over $k$. Consider a symmetric variety of the form $X=G/H$, for $H=G^\theta$ the fixed point ...

Can all hermitian symmetric spaces be realised as coadjoint orbits?
Here is what I know. Assume $M\cong G/K$ is an irreducible hermitian symmetric space. Denote the Lie-algebra of $K$ by $\mathfrak{t}$. Proposition 1.2. chapter 3 in
Wienhard - Bounded cohomology and ...

Almost two-point homogeneous spaces
I define a NICE space to be a connected Riemannian manifold $M$ such that for any two distinct points $p,q\in M$, there exists an isometry $R_{p,q}$ exchanging these two points (that is such that $R_{...

Classification of "homogeneous" submanifolds of ℝⁿ
I define a subset $M$ of $\mathbb R^n$ to be a "homogeneous Euclidean manifold" if:
it is a closed connected smooth submanifold of $\mathbb R^n$,
for every $p, q$ in $M$, there is a ...

Is the affine Grassmannian manifold a symmetric homogeneous space?
I am interested in the manifold of affine subspaces of dimension $k$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$, which can be viewed as the homogeneous space
$$ E(n)/(E(k)\times O(n-k)),$$
where $E$ refers to rigid motions ...

Bounded non-symmetric domains covering a compact manifold
This question is somewhat related to this other question of mine.
I was wondering which are the known examples of bounded domains $\Omega$ in $\mathbb C^n$ admitting a compact free quotient.
By a ...

p-adic analogue of classification of irreducible Riemannian symmetric spaces?
For Riemannian symmetric spaces, we have a nice result that the simply-connected ones are products of irreducible symmetric spaces, of which we have a list of ten infinite families and some ...

Homogeneity of a projective vector bundle
Let $M=G/K$ be a $G$-homogeneous manifold and suppose that $E\to G/K$ is a homogeneous (complex) vector bundle, i.e. it is defined by a representation $\phi : K \to \text{Aut(V)}$ for some complex ...

Isotropy symmetric holomorphic functions
Let $G$ be a bounded homogeneous domain in $\mathbb{C}^{n}$ and let $z\in G$.
Assume that $f$ is a holomorphic function on $G$, which is isotropy symmetric, i.e. $f\circ \varphi=f$ for any ...

Two questions on homogeneous domains
Let $G$ be a domain in $\mathbb{C}^{n}$ and let $Aut(G)$ be the group of biholomorphic selfmaps of $G$. $G$ is called:
(1) homogeneous if $Aut(G)$ acts transitively on $G$, i.e. for any $z,w\in G$ ...

Intermediate quotient for a Hermitian Symmetric Spaces of $Sp(n)$
We know that $U(N)$ can be embedded into $SU(n+1)$ and that the quotient is isomorphic to complex projective space:
$$
SU(n+1)/U(n) \simeq {\mathbb CP}^{n}.
$$
We can split this process into two ...
