Geodesic orbit Randers metrics in homogeneous bundles over generalized Stiefel manifolds

Abstract

Abstract In this article, we study the geodesic orbit Randers spaces of the form ( G / H , F ) {(G/H,F)} , such that G is one of the compact classical Lie groups SO ⁢ ( n ) {{\mathrm{S}}{\mathrm{O}}(n)} , SU ⁢ ( n ) {{\mathrm{S}}{\mathrm{U}}(n)} , Sp ⁢ ( n ) {{\mathrm{S}}{\mathrm{p}}(n)} , and H is a diagonally embedded product H 1 × ⋯ × H s {H_{1}\times\cdots\times H_{s}} , where H i {H_{i}} is of the same type as G. Such spaces include spheres, Stiefel manifolds, Grassmann manifolds, and flag manifolds. The present work is a contribution to the study of geodesic orbit Randers spaces ( G / H , F ) {(G/H,F)} with H semisimple. We construct new examples of non-Riemannian Randers g.o. metrics in homogeneous bundles over generalized Stiefel manifolds which are not naturally reductive. Also, we obtain the specific expressions of these Randers g.o. metrics.
