Problem Statement

For what values of n n does the group \textsl{SO}(n) of all orthogonal transformations of determinant 1 1 of the n n-dimensional Euclidean space possess a closed regular subgroup?( \textsl{G}<\textsl{SO}(n) is called <spanclass=latexitalic>regular</span> <span class='latex-italic'>regular</span> if for any elements x,y x,y of the unit sphere there exists a unique \varphi \in \textsl{G} such that \varphi(x)\equal{}y.)
