Prescribed Riemannian Symmetries

Given a smooth free action of a compact connected Lie group on a smooth compact manifold , we show that the space of -invariant Riemannian metrics on whose automorphism group is precisely is open and dense in the space of all -invariant metrics, provided the dimension of is ''sufficien...

description Given a smooth free action of a compact connected Lie group on a smooth compact manifold , we show that the space of -invariant Riemannian metrics on whose automorphism group is precisely is open and dense in the space of all -invariant metrics, provided the dimension of is ''sufficiently large'' compared to that of . As a consequence, it follows that every compact connected Lie group can be realized as the automorphism group of some compact connected Riemannian manifold; this recovers prior work by Bedford-Dadok and Saerens-Zame under less stringent dimension conditions. Along the way, we also show, under less restrictive conditions on both dimensions and actions, that the space of -invariant metrics whose automorphism groups preserve the -orbits is dense δ in the space of all -invariant metrics.

This work is partially supported by NSF grants DMS-1801011 and DMS-2001128. I am indebted to the anonymous referees for numerous suggestions contributing to the improved quality of the initial draft. In particular, I would have remained unacquainted with [3, 32] were it not for one of the referee reports.
