Prove that the manifold $SO(n)$ is connected
The question really is that simple: Prove that the manifold SO(n) ⊂ GL(n,R) S O (n) ⊂ G L (n, R) is connected. it is very easy to see that the elements of SO(n) S O (n) are in one-to-one …
Dimension of SO (n) and its generators - Mathematics Stack …
Nov 18, 2015 · The generators of SO(n) S O (n) are pure imaginary antisymmetric n × n n × n matrices. How can this fact be used to show that the dimension of SO(n) S O (n) is n(n−1) 2 n …
Fundamental group of the special orthogonal group SO(n)
Also, if I'm not mistaken, Steenrod gives a more direct argument in "Topology of Fibre Bundles," but he might be using the long exact sequence of a fibration (which you mentioned).

What is the relationship between SL (n) and SO (n)?
To add some intuition to this, for vectors in Rn R n, SL(n) S L (n) is the space of all the transformations with determinant 1 1, or in other words, all transformations that keep the …
