A note on equivalence classes of \(SO_0(p,q)\)-actions on \(S^{p+q-1}\) whose restricted \(SO(p)\times SO(q)\)-action is the standard action (Q2683794)

Previously, the author and co-authors found ``examples of triples \((g,h_1,h_2)\) of smooth functions to construct smooth \(SU(p,q)\)-actions on the projective space \(\mathbf P^{p+q-1}_{\mathbb C}\) (\(p,q\geq 3\)) whose restricted \(S(U(p)\times U(q))\)-action is the standard action. By using these examples of triples \((g,h_1,h_2)\), we shall construct smooth (resp. analytic) \(SO_0(p,q)\)-actions on \(S^{p+q-1}\) (\(p, q\geq 3\)) whose restricted \(SO(p)\times SO(q)\)-action is the standard action. Consequently, we shall show that for each positive integer \(m\) there exist uncountably infinite smooth conjugacy classes of smooth \(SO_0(p,q)\)-actions on \(S^{p+q-1}\) (\(p, q\geq 3\)) with \(m\) closed and \(m+1\) open orbits whose restricted \(SO(p)\times SO(q)\)-action is the standard action. On the other hand, we shall show that there exist exactly countably many analytic conjugacy classes of analytic \(SO_0(p,q)\)-actions on \(S^{p+q-1}\) (\(p, q\geq 3\)) with one closed and two open orbits whose restricted \(SO(p)\times SO(q)\)-action is the standard action'' (cited form the author's abstract). The article considers several specific examples that clarify the results obtained by the author.
