Let G be a compact connected Lie group with H a connected subgroup of maximal rank. Suppose there exists a compact connected Lie subgroup K with H ⊂ K ⊂ G. Then there exists a smooth fiber bundle G/H → G/K with K/H as the fiber. (See for example [13].) This can be incorporated into a diagram involving the classifying spaces as follows: (1) Here π, ϕ, ϕ 1 and ϕ 2 denote fibrations. We also know that the homogeneous spaces and the Lie groups, which are homotopy equivalent to the loop spaces of their respective classifying spaces, are homotopy equivalent to connected finite complexes. Now suppose H is a maximal subgroup. Can there still exist spaces, which we will call BK, K/H, and G/K, and fibrations so that diagram (1) is still valid? This paper will show that in many cases either G/K or K/H will be homo topically trivial.

Abstract A definition of a convolution of tensor fields on group manifolds is given, which is then generalised to generic homogeneous spaces. This is applied to the product of gauge fields in the context of ‘gravity = gauge × gauge’. In particular, it is shown that the linear Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) gauge transformations of two Yang-Mills gauge fields generate the linear BRST diffeomorphism transformations of the graviton. This facilitates the definition of the ‘gauge × gauge’ convolution product on, for example, the static Einstein universe, and more generally for ultrastatic spacetimes with compact spatial slices.
