Description
Summary:Building on the classification of modules for algebraic groups with finitely many orbits on subspaces, we determine all faithful irreducible modules for simple and maximal-semisimple connected algebraic groups that are orthogonal and have finitely many orbits on singular \(1\)-spaces. This question is naturally connected with the problem of finding for which pairs of subgroups \(H,K\) of an algebraic group \(G\) there are finitely many \((H,K)\)-double cosets. This paper provides a solution to the question when \(K\) is a maximal parabolic subgroup \(P_1\) of a classical group \(SO_n\). We find an interesting range of new examples ranging from a \(5\)-dimensional module for \(SL_2\) to the spin module for \(B_6\) in characteristic \(2\).
