The First and Second Homotopy Groups of a Homogeneous Space of a Complex Linear Algebraic Group
Journal of Lie Theory, Volume 33 (2023) no. 2, pp. 687-700
\newcommand{\CC}{{\mathbb{C}}} \def\top{{\textup{top}}} Let $X$ be a homogeneous space of a connected linear algebraic group $G$ defined over the field of complex numbers $\CC$. Let $x\in X(\CC)$ be a point. We denote by $H$ the stabilizer of $x$ in $G$. When $H$ is connected, we compute the topological fundamental group $\pi_1^\top(X(\CC),x)$. Moreover, we compute the second homotopy group $\pi_2^\top(X(\CC),x)$.
