In this note we classify all homogeneous spaces $G/H$ admitting a $G$-invariant $G_2$-structure, assuming that $G$ is a compact Lie group and $G$ acts effectively on $G/H$. They include a subclass of all homogeneous spaces $G/H$ with a $G$-invariant $\tilde G_2$-structure, where $G$ is a compact Lie group. There are many new examples with nontrivial fundamental group. We study a subclass of homogeneous spaces of high rigidity and low rigidity and show that they admit families of invariant coclosed $G_2$-structures (resp. $\tilde G_2$-structures).
We ask a general question: what are locally homogeneous compact pseudo-Riemannian Einstein manifolds? We show that any standard compact Clifford-Klein form of a simple non-compact Lie group admits at least one Einstein metric. We conjecture that these are basically the only possible locally homogeneous Einstein pseudo-Riemannian compact manifolds using T. Kobayashi's conjecture as a guiding principle.
A smooth curve on $G/H$ is called a Riemannian equigeodesic if it is a homogeneous geodesic for all $G$-invariant Riemannian metrics on $G/H$. With the $G$-invariant Riemannian metric replaced by other classes of $G$-invariant metrics, we can similarly define Finsler equigeodesic, Randers equigeodesic, $(α,β)$ equigeodesic, etc. In this paper, we study Randers and $(α,β)$ equigeodesics. For a compact homogeneous manifold, we prove Randers and $(α,β)$ equigeodesics are equivalent, and find a criterion for them. Using this criterion we can classify the equigeodesics on many compact homogeneous m…
Gromov asked if the bi-invariant metrics on a compact Lie group are extremal compared to any other metrics. In this note, we prove that the bi-invariant metrics on a compact connected semi-simple Lie group $G$ are extremal (in fact rigid) in the sense of Gromov when compared to the left-invariant metrics. In fact the same result holds for a compact connected homogeneous manifold $G/H$ with $G$ compact connect and semi-simple.
We prove the existence and uniqueness of geometric models of local isometry classes of locally homogeneous spaces with sectional curvature $|\operatorname{sec}|\leq 1$. Moreover, we show that the set of geometric models is compact in the pointed $\mathcal{C}^{1,α}$-topology.
Weyl homogeneous manifolds modeled on compact Lie groups
一个黎曼流形称为外尔齐次的，如果它的外尔张量在任意两点上是"相同的"，直到一个正的倍数。一个Weyl齐次流形被建模在齐次空间$M_0$上，如果它在每一点的Weyl张量都与$M_0$的Weyl张量"相同"，直到一个正倍数。我们证明了一个Weyl齐次流形$M^n, n \ge 4$，在一个不可约对称空间$M_0$的II或IV型（紧单李群与双不变度量或其非紧对偶）上建模，共形等价于$M_0$.
In this paper, we study left invariant conic Finsler metrics on the 2-dimensional non-Abelian Lie group $G$ with nowhere vanishing spray vector fields, and classify those satisfying the constant curvature condition, the Landsberg condition or the Berwald condition respectively. We prove that any left invariant conic Landsberg metric on $G$ must be Berwald. This discovery enable us to propose a homogeneous conic Landsberg Conjecture, which guesses that every homogeneous conic Landsberg metric is Berwald, and prove the 2-dimensional case for it.
Let $M$ be a pseudo-Hermitian homogeneous space of finite volume. We show that $M$ is compact and the identity component $G$ of the group of holomorphic isometries of $M$ is compact. If $M$ is simply connected, then even the full group of holomorphic isometries is compact. These results stem from a careful analysis of the Tits fibration of $M$, which is shown to have a torus as its fiber. The proof builds on foundational results on the automorphisms groups of compact almost pseudo-Hermitian homogeneous spaces. It is known that a compact homogeneous pseudo-Kähler manifold splits as a product of…
We prove a general existence theorem for collapsed ancient solutions to the Ricci flow on compact homogeneous spaces and we show that they converge in the Gromov-Hausdorff topology, under a suitable rescaling, to an Einstein metric on the base of a torus fibration. This construction generalizes all previous known examples in the literature.
讨论了齐次Ricci孤子的几何性质。在证明了紧致均匀孤子和非紧致稳态均匀孤子的不存在性之后，我们集中研究了左不变Ricci孤子。证明了在幺模情形下，Ricci孤子方程在左不变向量场的集合中不存在解。证明了梯度型左不变孤子必是具有非平凡Euclidean de Rham因子的黎曼积。作为结果的应用，我们证明了任何广义度量Heisenberg李群都是非梯度的膨胀型左不变Ricci孤子.
