We study the geometry of non-reductive four-dimensional homogeneous spaces.

Abstract
We study the geometry of non-reductive four-dimensional homogeneous spaces. In particular, after describing their Levi-Civita connection and curvature properties, we classify homogeneous Ricci solitons on these spaces, proving the existence of shrinking, expanding, and steady examples. For all the non-trivial examples we find, the Ricci operator is diagonalizable.File in questo prodotto:
