Almost Transitive Actions on Spaces with the Rational Homotopy of Sphere Products
Journal of Lie theory, Tome 15 (2005) no. 1, pp. 1-11
We determine the structure of transitive actions of compact Lie groups on spaces which have the dimension and the (rational) homotopy groups of a product S1 x Sm of spheres. These homogeneous spaces arise in several geometric contexts and may be considered as S1-bundles over certain spaces, e.g. over lens spaces and over certain quotients of Stiefel manifolds.
