Geodesic orbit spaces in real flag manifolds (Q2227307)

Flag manifolds are interesting mathematical objects with relationship to many topics. In the present paper, invariant Riemannian metrics with the property that every geodesic is an orbit of an one-parameter group of transformations are studied. Such metrics are called g.o. metrics. In previous papers, the classification of Riemannian g.o. metrics on complex flag manifolds was given. In the present paper, the real flag manifolds are considered. In this case, the isotropy representation may decompose into equivalent components and more metrics may arise. The description of invariant Riemannian metrics on real flag manifolds of classical Lie groups is provided and the classification of g.o. metrics among them is given.
