Abstract

Let (V,γ)(V,\gamma ) be a real finite dimensional vector space with a symmetric bilinear form γ\gamma whose kernel is spanned by a nonzero vector. The set of invertible real linear mappings of (V,γ)(V, \gamma ) into itself forms a Lie group called the generalized orthogonal group. This paper finds a unique representative for each orbit of the adjoint action of the generalized orthogonal group on its Lie algebra.
