Codazzi tensor fields in reductive homogeneous spaces

Differential Geometry 2024-02-05 v3

Abstract

We extend the results about left-invariant Codazzi tensor fields on Lie groups equipped with left-invariant Riemannian metrics obtained by d'Atri in 1985 to the setting of reductive homogeneous spaces G/HG/H, where the curvature of the canonical connection of second kind associated with the fixed reductive decomposition g=hm\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{h}\oplus\mathfrak{m} enters the picture. In particular, we show that invariant Codazzi tensor fields on a naturally reductive homogeneous space are parallel.
