I know this is quite an elementary question but I am not an expert in Lie theory. Does the action of $\mathrm{PGL(n+1, \mathbb{R}})$ on $\mathbf{P}^n(\mathbb{C}) \setminus \mathbf{P}^n(\mathbb{R}) $ …

I would like to find a list (or at least a description) of the maximal closed connected subgroups of $\mathrm{SL}(n, \mathbb{R})$ , and also of $\mathrm{SU}(p,q)$. In the following MO discussion is i …

Is the braid group with $n$ strings $\mathcal{B}_n$ known to be a lattice in a connected semi-simple Lie group ? (for $n$, say, bigger than $3$) Or is it known that it cannot be such a lattice ?

Let $G$ be a complex semisimple Lie group and let $\rho: G \longrightarrow \mathrm{SL}(n,\mathbb{C})$ be a faithful irreducible representation of $G$ with $n \geq 3$. Suppose that $G$ contains a copy …
