Stabilizer subgroup in adjoint action

126 Views Asked by At

Given $b \in \mathfrak{su}(n)$, how can I find the stabilizer $\text{stab}(b)$ for the adjoint action of $SU(n)$ on $\mathfrak{su}(n)$ given by $Ad_U(b) = UbU^{\dagger}$ without using coordinates? The $SU(4)$ case is particularly important in my application.
