AbstractWe find two different families of $$\mathbf{Sp}(4,\mathbb{R})$$ Sp ( 4 , R ) symmetric $$G_2$$ G 2 structures in seven dimensions. These are $$G_2$$ G 2 structures with $$G_2$$ G 2 being the split real form of the simple exceptional complex Lie group $$G_2$$ G 2 . The first family has $$\tau _2\equiv 0$$ τ 2 ≡ 0 , while the second family has $$\tau _1\equiv \tau _2\equiv 0$$ τ 1 ≡ τ 2 ≡ 0 , where $$\tau _1$$ τ 1 , $$\tau _2$$ τ 2 are the celebrated $$G_2$$ G 2 -invariant parts of the intrinsic torsion of the $$G_2$$ G 2 structure. The families are different in the sense that the first one lives on a homogeneous space $$\mathbf{Sp}(4,\mathbb{R})/\mathbf{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})_l$$ Sp ( 4 , R ) / SL ( 2 , R ) l , and the second one lives on a homogeneous space $$\mathbf{Sp}(4,\mathbb{R})/\mathbf{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})_s$$ Sp ( 4 , R ) / SL ( 2 , R ) s . Here $$\mathbf{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})_l$$ SL ( 2 , R ) l is an $$\mathbf{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$$ SL ( 2 , R ) corresponding to the $$\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})$$ sl ( 2 , R ) related to the long roots in the root diagram of $$\mathfrak{sp}(4,\mathbb{R})$$ sp ( 4 , R ) , and $$\mathbf{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})_s$$ SL ( 2 , R ) s is an $$\mathbf{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$$ SL ( 2 , R ) corresponding to the $$\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})$$ sl ( 2 , R ) related to the short roots in the root diagram of $$\mathfrak{sp}(4,\mathbb{R})$$ sp ( 4 , R ) .

Let G be a connected, simply connected nilpotent Lie group, H and K be connected subgroups of G. We show in this paper that the action of K on X = G/H is proper if and only if the triple (G,H,K) has the compact intersection property in both cases where G is at most three-step and where G is special, extending then earlier cases. The result is also proved for exponential homogeneous space on which acts a maximal subgroup.

For a nilpotent Lie group G and its closed subgroup L, Lipsman [13] conjectured that the L-action on some homogeneous space of G is proper in the sense of Palais if and only if the action is free. Nasrin [14] proved this conjecture assuming that G is a 2-step nilpotent Lie group. However, Lipsman's conjecture fails for the 4-step nilpotent case. This paper gives an affirmative solution to Lipsman's conjecture for the 3-step nilpotent case.

Let G / H be a homogeneous space of a compact simple classical Lie group G. Assume that the maximal torus T H of H is conjugate to a torus T β whose Lie algebra t β is the kernel of the maximal root β of the root system of the complexified Lie algebra g c . We prove that such homogeneous space is formal. As an application, we give a short direct proof of the formality property of compact homogeneous 3-Sasakian spaces of classical type. This is a complement to the work of Fernández, Muñoz, and Sanchez which contains a full analysis of the formality property of S O ( 3 ) -bundles over the Wolf spaces and the proof of the formality property of homogeneous 3-Sasakian manifolds as a corollary.

Throughout this paper a surface is a 2-dimensional (not necessarily compact) complex manifold. A surface X is homogeneous if a complex Lie group G of holomorphic transformations acts holomorphically and transitively on it. Concisely, X is homogeneous if it can be identified with the left coset space G/H, where if is a closed complex Lie subgroup of G. We emphasize that the assumption that G is a complex Lie group is an essential part of the definition. For example, the 2-dimensional ball B2 is certainly “homogeneous” in the sense that its automorphism group acts transitively. But it is impossible to realize B2 as a homogeneous space in the above sense. The purpose of this paper is to give a detailed classification of the homogeneous surfaces. We give explicit descriptions of all possibilities.

The simple algebraic and geometric properties of naturally reductive metrics make them useful as examples in the study of homogeneous Riemannian manifolds. (See for example [2], [3], [15]). The existence and abundance of naturally reductive left-invariant metrics on a Lie group G or homogeneous space G/L reflect the structure of G itself. Such metrics abound on compact groups, exist but are more restricted on noncompact semisimple groups, and are relatively rare on solvable groups. The goals of this paper are(i) to study all naturally reductive homogeneous spaces of G when G is either semisimple of noncompact type or nilpotent and(ii) to give necessary conditions on a Riemannian homogeneous space of an arbitrary Lie group G in order that the metric be naturally reductive with respect to some transitive subgroup of G.

Let Gℂ be a complex simple Lie group, GU a compact real form, and [Formula: see text] the natural projection between the dual of the Lie algebras. We prove that, for any coadjoint orbit [Formula: see text] of GU, the intersection of [Formula: see text] with a coadjoint orbit [Formula: see text] of Gℂ is either an empty set or a single orbit of GU if [Formula: see text] is isomorphic to a complex symmetric space.

A Lie group containing a subgroup is considered. Such a group is a principal bundle, a typical fiber of this principal bundle is the subgroup and a base is a homogeneous space, which is obtained by factoring the group by the subgroup. Starting from this group, we constructed structure equations of a space with Cartan connection, which generalizes the Cartan point projective connection, Akivis’s linear projective connection, and a plane projective connection. Structure equations of this Cartan connection, containing the components of the curvature-torsion object, allowed: 1) to show that the curvature-torsion object forms a tensor containing a torsion tensor; 2) to find an analogue of the Bianchi identities such that the curvature-torsion tensor and its Pfaff derivatives satisfy this analogue; 3) to obtain the conditions for the transformation of Pfaffian derivatives of the curvature-torsion tensor into covariant derivatives with respect to the Cartan connection.

Recently A, Malcev has shown that the homogeneous space of a connected nilpotent Lie group G is the direct product of a compact space and an Euclidean-space and that the compact space of this direct decomposition is also a homogeneous space of a connected subgroup of G. Any compact homogeneous space M of a connected nilpotent Lie group is of the form where is a connected simply connected nilpotent group whose structure constants are rational numbers in a suitable coordinate system and D is a discrete subgroup of G.
