Coset-fibration conjecture for totally geodesic foliations in compact Lie groups
Coset-fibration conjecture for totally geodesic foliations in compact Lie groups
Let be a simple compact Lie group with a bi-invariant metric, and let be a Riemannian submersion with connected totally geodesic fibers. Coset-fibration conjecture. The map is a left or right coset fibration; that is, or for some subgroup , and is the quotient map. This conjecture concerns the classification of Riemannian submersions from compact Lie groups with bi-invariant metrics. It was proved under the additional hypothesis that the fiber through the identity contains a maximal torus of , while the unrestricted statement is resolved according to the supplied status evidence.
