AbstractIn this paper, we consider a special class of solvable Lie groups such that for any x, y in their Lie algebras, [x, y] is a linear combination of x and y. We investigate the harmonicity properties of invariant vector fields of this kind of Lorentzian Lie groups. It is shown that any invariant unit time-like vector field is spatially harmonic. Moreover, we determine all vector fields which are critical points of the energy functional restricted to the space of smooth vector fields.

Symmetry Algebras

In this investigation, we present symmetry algebras of the canonical geodesic equations of the indecomposable solvable Lie groups of dimension five, confined to algebras A 5 , 7 a b c to A 18 a . For each algebra, the related system of geodesics is provided. Moreover, a basis for the associated Lie algebra of the symmetry vector fields, as well as the corresponding nonzero brackets, are constructed and categorized.

In this paper, we consider invariant [Formula: see text]-metrics which are induced by invariant Riemannian metrics [Formula: see text] and invariant vector fields [Formula: see text] on homogeneous spaces. We study the flag curvatures of invariant [Formula: see text]-metrics. We first give an explicit formula for the flag curvature of invariant [Formula: see text]-metrics arising from invariant Riemannian metrics on homogeneous spaces and Lie groups. We then give some explicit formula for the flag curvature of invariant Matsumoto metrics, invariant Kropina metrics and invariant Randers metrics.

Left Invariant Metrics

In this paper the complete classification of left invariant metrics of arbitrary signature on solvable Lie groups is given. By identifying the Lie algebra with the algebra of left invariant vector fields on the corresponding Lie group ??, the inner product ??,?? on g = Lie G extends uniquely to a left invariant metric ?? on the Lie group. Therefore, the classification problem is reduced to the problem of classification of pairs (g, ??,??) known as the metric Lie algebras. Although two metric algebras may be isometric even if the corresponding Lie algebras are non-isomorphic, this paper will show that in the 4-dimensional solvable case isometric means isomorphic. Finally, the curvature properties of the obtained metric algebras are considered and, as a corollary, the classification of flat, locally symmetric, Ricciflat, Ricci-parallel and Einstein metrics is also given.

AbstractIn this paper, we first classify Einstein-like metrics on hypercomplex four-dimensional Lie groups. Then we obtain the exact form of all harmonic maps on these spaces. We also calculate the energy of an arbitrary left-invariant vector field X on these spaces and determine all critical points for their energy functional restricted to vector fields of the same length. Furthermore, we give a complete and explicit description of all totally geodesic hypersurfaces of these spaces. The existence of Einstein hypercomplex four-dimensional Lie groups and the non-existence of non-trivial left-invariant Ricci and Yamabe solitons on these spaces are also proved.
