I have a question regarding coset space or homogeneous space SO(n+1)/SO(n) which is simply Sn. I need some intuition regarding this result.
As everyone knows that for a simple case of SO(3)/SO(2), one can have SO(3) as a group acting on R3 and SO(2) as an isotropy group of x∈R3, then the group SO(3) acts transitively on S2 and we get S2 as the coset.
Since the result is just 2-sphere or n-sphere, is there an intuitive way of seeing it?
