Coset-fibration conjecture for totally geodesic foliations in compact Lie groups

Let GG be a simple compact Lie group with a bi-invariant metric, and let π:GB\pi:G\rightarrow B be a Riemannian submersion with connected totally geodesic fibers. Coset-fibration conjecture. The map π\pi is a left or right coset fibration; that is, B=G/HB=G/H or B=H\GB=H\backslash G for some subgroup HGH\subset G, and π\pi 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 GG, while the unrestricted statement is resolved according to the supplied status evidence.
