Abstract

A geodesic orbit manifold is a complete Riemannian manifold all of whose geodesics are orbits of one-parameter groups of isometries. We give both a geometric and an algebraic characterization of geodesic orbit manifolds that are diffeomorphic to Rn\mathbf{R}^n. Along the way, we establish various structural properties of more general geodesic orbit manifolds.
