Abstract
Actions of compact Lie groups on the homogeneous spaces G/NT, G a compact connected semisimple Lie group, NT⊂G the normalizor of a maximal torus T in G, are considered. If the acting group is a torus, the action is lifted to the universal covering G/T and the corresponding equivariant cohomology is computed for a coefficient field of characteristic O. The symmetry degree of all homogeneous spaces G/NT is computed confirming a conjecture of W. Y. Hsiang. The nonexistence of fixed points of semisimple compact Lie group actions on G/NT is proved in the case that the group acts differentiably and effectively.
