Abstract

Let X be a homogeneous space of a connected linear algebraic group G defined over the field of complex numbers C. Let x ∈ X(C) be a point. We denote by H the stabilizer of x in G. When H is connected, we compute the topological fundamental group π1top(X(C),x). Moreover, we compute the second homotopy group π2top(X(C),x).
