Abstract

Let GG be one of the ind-groups GL()GL(\infty), O()O(\infty), Sp()Sp(\infty), and P1,,PlP_1,\dots, P_l be an arbitrary set of ll splitting parabolic subgroups of GG. We determine all such sets with the property that GG acts with finitely many orbits on the ind-variety X1××XlX_1\times\dots\times X_l where Xi=G/PiX_i=G/P_i. In the case of a finite-dimensional classical linear algebraic group GG, the analogous problem has been solved in a sequence of papers of Littelmann, Magyar-Weyman-Zelevinsky and Matsuki. An essential difference from the finite-dimensional case is that already for l=2l=2, the condition that GG acts on X1×X2X_1\times X_2 with finitely many orbits is a rather restrictive condition on the pair P1,P2P_1,P_2. We describe this condition explicitly. Using this result, we tackle the most interesting case where l=3l=3, and present the answer in the form of a table. For l4l\geq 4, there always are infinitely many G-orbits on X1××XlX_1\times \dots\times X_l.
