Geodesic orbit metrics in a class of homogeneous bundles over quaternionic Stiefel manifolds (Q2032681)

In a g.o. manifold, each geodesic is the orbit of a one-parameter group of transformations. G.o. manifolds were studied in many works in Riemannian, pseudo-Riemannian, affine or Finsler geometry. The existence and the form of an invariant g.o. metric on a homogeneous space \(G/H\) depends on the properties of the isotropy representation of \(H\) on \(T_pM\) and algebraic relations between the corresponding sumodules. In previous works, the cases with \(G\) compact semisimple and \(H\) abelian or simple were studied and classified. The case with \(H\) semisimple remains open. In other works, g.o. spaces of the form \({\mathrm{SO}}(n)/{\mathrm{SO}}(n_1)\times\dots\times {\mathrm{SO}}(n_s)\) and \({\mathrm{U}}(n)/{\mathrm{U}}(n_1)\times\dots\times {\mathrm{U}}(n_s)\) were studied. In the present work, g.o. metrics on the spaces \({\mathrm{Sp}}(n)/{\mathrm{Sp}}(n_1)\times\dots\times {\mathrm{Sp}}(n_s)\) are described.
