We study isometric actions of compact Lie groups on complete orientable positively curved n-manifolds whose orbit spaces have non-empty boundary in the sense of Alexandrov geometry. In particular, we classify quotients of the unit sphere with non-empty boundary. We deduce from this the list of representations of simple Lie groups that admit non-trivial reductions. As a tool of special interest, we introduce a new geometric invariant of a compact symmetric space, namely, the minimal number of points in a “spanning set” of the space.
