Abstract: Let G be a real form of a complex reductive group. Suppose that we are given involutions sigma and heta of G. Let H=G^sigma denote the fixed group of sigma and let K=G^ heta denote the fixed group of heta. We are interested in calculating the double coset space H�ackslash G/K. We use moment map and invariant theoretic techniques to calculate the double cosets, especially the ones that are closed. One salient point of our results is a stratification of a quotient of a compact torus over which the closed double cosets fiber as a collection of trivial bundles.
