Abstract: Let $p$ be an even positive integer and $U_p(H)$ be the Banach-Lie group of unitary operators $u$ which verify that $u-1$ belongs to the $p$-Schatten ideal $B_p(H)$. Let $calO$ be a smooth manifold on which $U_p(H)$ acts transitively and smoothly. Then one can endow $calO$ with a natural Finsler metric in terms of the $p$-Schatten norm and the action of $U_p(H)$. Our main result establishes that for any pair of given initial conditions ${\displaystyle }$ xin {cal O}hbox{and} Xin (T{cal O})_x ${\displaystyle }$ there exists a curve $delta(t)=e^{tz}cdotx$ in $calO$, with $z$ a skew-hermitian element in the $p$-Schatten class such that ${\displaystyle }$ delta(0)=x hbox{and} dot{delta}(0)=X, ${\displaystyle }$ which remains minimal as long as $t|z{|}_{p}lepi/4$. Moreover, $delta$ is unique with these properties. We also show that the metric space $(calO,d)$ ($d=$ rectifiable distance) is complete. In the process we establish minimality results in the groups $U_p(H)$, and a convexity property for the rectifiable distance. As an example of these spaces, we treat the case of the unitary orbit ${\displaystyle }$ {cal O}={uAu^*: uin U_p(H)} ${\displaystyle }$ of a self-adjoint operator $AinB(H)$.
