Lie Group Quotient Space


A Lie group quotient space G/H is the set of left cosets of a subgroup H of a Lie group G, equipped with the quotient topology from pi:G->G/H. More generally, this construction applies to a topological group G. Namely, the open sets in G/H are the images of the open sets in G. Moreover, if H is closed, then G/H is a T2-space.
