Abstract: This paper gives conditions to determine the number of control sets on compact homogeneous spaces of a Lie group $G$. We use a Levi decomposition of $G$ to reduce the problem to homogeneous spaces of semi-simple Lie groups and, in particular, to generalized flag manifolds.

Keywords: semigroups; control sets; Lie groups; semi-simple Lie groups; flag manifolds; fiber bundles.

Classification (MSC2000): 22E15, 22E46, 93B05.
