An introduction to spherical orbit spaces

Consider a compact, connected Lie group G acting isometrically on a sphere Sn of radius 1. Two-dimensional quotient spaces of the type Sn/G have been investigated extensively. This paper provides an elementary introduction, for nonspecialists, to this important field by way of several classical exa...
