We study the action of $T$ on Sub$^p_G$, the closure in Sub$_G$ of the set of closed one-parameter subgroups of $G$. We relate the distality of the $T$-action on Sub$^p_G$ with that of the $T$-action on $G$ and characterise the same in terms of compactness of the closed subgroup generated by $T$ in Aut$(G)$ when $T$ acts distally on the maximal central torus and $G$ is not a vector group. We extend these results to the action of subgroups ${\\mathcal H}$ of Aut$(G)$ and equate the distal action of any closed subgroup ${\\mathcal H}$ on Sub$^p_G$ with that of every element in ${\\mathcal H}$. Moreover, we show that a connected Lie group $G$ acts distally on Sub$^p_G$ by conjugation if and only if $G$ is either compact or it is isomorphic to a direct product of a compact group and a vector group. Our results generalise some results proven by Shah and Yadav.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-06-03T11:56:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "distal action", "automorphism", "closed subgroup", "connected lie group", "charactarisation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
