I can construct groups satisfying a set of properties for $n\ne 5$. However, in the case $n=5$, I am starting to think no such group exists. Precisely, I am asking if the following claim is true. > There is no closed subgroup $G$ of the the orthogonal group $O(5)$ along with a continuous surjective homomorphism $\phi : G\to \mathbb{Z}_2 = \{1, -1\}$ such that > 1. If $x\in\mathbb{R}^n,\, x\ne 0$ then the orbit $Gx$ contains infinitely many distinct elements. > 2. There exists $x\in \mathbb{R^n}$ such that $\{g\in G : gx = x\}\subseteq \operatorname{ker}\phi$. Any ideas on how to approach this are appreciated.
