Is the following assertion true? : Consider the action of $SO(p,\mathbb{R})$ on $p \times q$ matrices by left multiplication. I want to show that $MA = A $ , where $M \in SO(p,\mathbb{R})$ and $A \in M_{p \times q}(R)$, implies A = 0. Equivalently, if I show that the fiber over a non-zero matrix is a singleton, it seems okay. Of course showing it by choosing various matrices $M$ in $SO$ would do the job, but is there another proof using group actions?
