Abstract
Let be complete flat pseudo-Riemannian homogeneous manifold and its fundamental group. We show that is a trivial fiber bundle , where is the Zariski closure of in . Moreover, we show that the -orbits in are affinely diffeomorphic to endowed with the (0)-connection. If the induced metric on the -orbits is non-degenerate, then (and hence ) has linear abelian holonomy. If additionally is not abelian, then contains a certain subgroup of dimension 6. In particular, for non-abelian orbits with non-degenerate metric can appear only if .
