Diagonal orbits and stabilizer orbits #
If G acts transitively on Y, fixing a point y : Y identifies the diagonal orbit space
of X × Y with the orbit space of X under the stabilizer of y. This is useful for replacing
an object with a moving marked point by an object whose mark is fixed once and for all.
The forward map is canonical: it sends the stabilizer orbit of x to the diagonal orbit of
(x, y). Its injectivity does not require transitivity. Transitivity supplies surjectivity;
the inverse sends the orbit of (x, g • y) to the stabilizer orbit of g⁻¹ • x.
Attach a fixed mark y to a stabilizer orbit, giving a diagonal orbit.

Instances For
Every diagonal orbit admits a representative with mark y when the marking action is
transitive.
Stabilizer orbits with a fixed mark are exactly diagonal orbits with a moving mark.
Equations
Instances For
Move the mark back to y by applying the inverse translator to the object as well.
