Parabolic Subgroups of Real Direct Limit Groups

Abstract: Let

G_{R}

be a classical real direct limit Lie group and

g_{R}

its Lie algebra. The parabolic subalgebras of the complexification

g_{C}

were described by the first two authors. In the present paper we extend these results to

g_{R}

. This also gives a description of the parabolic subgroups of

G_{R}

. Furthermore, we give a geometric criterion for a parabolic subgroup

P_{C}

of

G_{C}

to intersect

G_{R}

in a parabolic subgroup. This criterion involves the

G_{R}

-orbit structure of the flag ind-manifold

G_{C} / P_{C}

.
