Abstract
We study -equigeodesic vectors associated with homogeneous fibrations, namely vectors that are geodesic with respect to every homogeneous metric making the projection a Riemannian submersion. We obtain an algebraic criterion characterizing such vectors and apply it to classical flag manifolds and Ledger-Obata spaces. As a framework for this study, given Lie groups with and closed in , and a fixed -invariant metric on , we describe the family of -invariant metrics on for which the natural projection is a Riemannian submersion. We also give a criterion for the fibers of to be totally geodesic.
