"Largest" finite-dimensional Lie subgroups of Diff(S^n), are they known?
For 2) I think the following is an answer: Suppose $K$ is a compact Lie subgroup
of $\mathrm{Diff}(S^n)$ of dimension $\geq{n+1\choose 2}$. Being compact it is
the group of isometries of some Riemanni …

I was wondering if the set of singular loops is a (somewhere) submanifold of loop space?
The following argument I think should work to prove that the answer is no (though I haven't checked whether it really fits in with the proper definition): Consider a loop where three points of $S^1$ m …
