We find that they are given by Howe subgroups of $\rmSU(n)$ for which a certain characteristic equation is solvable. Depending on the base manifold, this equation leads to a linear, bilinear, or quadratic Diophantine equation.12 pages, 1 figureMathematical PhysicsHigh Energy Physics - TheoryDifferential Geometry53C05, 53C80On a Certain Stratification of the Gauge Orbit Spacetext
