How tightly can you fold a sphere?
چکیده انگلیسی
Consider a compact, connected Lie group G acting isometrically on a sphere Sn of radius 1. The quotient of Sn by this group action, Sn/G, has a natural metric on it, and so we may ask what are its diameter and q-extents. These values have been computed for cohomogeneity one actions on spheres. In this paper, we compute the diameters, extents, and several q-extents of cohomogeneity two orbit spaces resulting from such actions, and we also obtain results about the q-extents of Euclidean disks. Additionally, via a simple geometric criterion, we can identify which of these actions give rise to a decomposition of the sphere as a union of disk bundles. In addition, as a service to the reader, we give a complete breakdown of all the isotropy subgroups resulting from cohomogeneity one and two actions.
