Is the quotient space O(3)/SO(2) a group?

171 Views Asked by At

I can't figure out how to demonstrate if it is a group or not. I should see if O(3) is a simple group or that SO(2) is a normal subgroup of O(3).

Isn't $SO(3)/SO(2)$ as a quotient space just the $2$-sphere $S^2$? But $S^2$ has no topological group structure (any orientation-preserving map from $S^2$ to $S^2$ has a fixed point). Then $O(3)/SO(2)$ would be two disjoint $S^2$s and so won't have a topological group structure.
