Abstract

Consider a transitive action of a Lie group GG on a (real analytic) manifold MM of dimension mm, and two (embedded) submanifolds AA and BB in MM of sufficiently large class and of dimension kk and ll, respectively. We prove that, for a generic σG\sigma \in G, the intersection σ(A)B\sigma (A) \cap B is transversal, whence a submanifold of dimension k+lmk+l-m or the empty set. This paper is a continuation of our previous article, devoted to definable transitive actions of definable groups on manifolds and generic intersections in an o-minimal structure, and inspired by a question of Jan Mycielski about the intersections of translates of analytic sets in the real plane.
