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.

    Fixing the mark identifies stabilizer orbits faithfully with diagonal orbits.

    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.

      Move the mark back to y by applying the inverse translator to the object as well.
