. Let U X X -» X be a (bilinear) composition (u, x) h» ux of two quadratic spaces U and X over a field F of characteristic =¡t 2 and assume there is a vector in U which induces the identity map on X via this composition. Define G to be the subgroup of O(U) x O(X) consisting of those pairs (</>, \p) satisfying (j>(u)ip(x) = iK«x) identically and define Gx to be the projection of G on 0(X). The group G is investigated and in particular it is shown that its connected component, as an algebraic group, is isogenous to a product of two or three classical groups and so is reductive. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for Gx to be transitive on the unit sphere of X when U and X are Euclidean spaces.
