Abstract

We consider the complex ind-group G=SL(,C)G=\mathrm{SL}(\infty,\mathbb{C}) and its real forms G0=SU(,)G^0=\mathrm{SU}(\infty,\infty), SU(p,)\mathrm{SU}(p,\infty), SL(,R)\mathrm{SL}(\infty,\mathbb{R}), SL(,H)\mathrm{SL}(\infty,\mathbb{H}). Our main objects of study are the G0G^0-orbits on an ind-variety G/PG/P for an arbitrary splitting parabolic ind-subgroup PGP\subset G. We prove that the intersection of any G0G^0-orbit on G/PG/P with a finite-dimensional flag variety Gn/PnG_n/P_n from a given exhaustion of G/PG/P via Gn/PnG_n/P_n for nn\to\infty, is a single (G0Gn)(G^0\cap G_n)-orbit. We also characterize all ind-varieties G/PG/P on which there are finitely many G0G^0-orbits, and provide criteria for the existence of open and closed G0G^0-orbits on G/PG/P in the case of infinitely many G0G^0-orbits.
