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 ...

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 ...

Model geometry uniqueness

Let $ M $ be a compact connected manifold with $$ M \cong \Gamma \backslash G /H $$ where $G $ is a Lie group, $ H $ a compact subgroup, $\Gamma $ a discrete subgroup, and $ G/H $ is connected and ...

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 ...
