On Cohomogeneity One Linear Actions On Pseudo-euclidean Space $\mathbb{R}^{p,q}$
The aim of this paper is to study cohomogeneity one isometric linear actions on the $p+q$-dimensional pseudo-Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{p,q}$. It is proved that the natural isometric action of the nilpotent factor of an Iwasawa decomposition of $SO(p,q)$ is not of cohomogeneity one. The orbits of cohomogeneity one actions of some subgroups of a maximal parabolic subgroup of the isometry group of $\mathbb{R}^{p,q}$ are determined and it is proved that there exist cohomogeneity one isometric actions on $\mathbb{R}^{p,q}$ which are orbit-equivalent on the complement of a $p$-dimensional degenerate subspace $\mathbb{W}^p$ of $\mathbb{R}^{p,q}$ and not orbit-equivalent on $\mathbb{W}p$.
