Abstract: Let $G$ be a Lie group $G$ with representation $ho$ on a real simple $G$-module $mathbbV$. We will call the orbits of the induced action of $ho$ on the projectivization $PmathbbV$ the projective orbits, and projective orbits of lowest possible dimension will be called minimal. We show that when $G$ is semi-simple and non-compact, there exists a compact subgroup $KsubsetG$ such that the minimal orbits of $G$ are in bijection with the minimal $K$-orbits on a $K$-invariant proper subspace $mathbbWsubsetmathbbV$. In the case that $G$ is split-real, $K$ is the trivial subgroup and there is a unique closed projective orbit, which is moreover of minimal dimension.
