In the framework of the study of homogeneous Lorentzian three-manifolds, we consider here the only class of examples which admit a four-dimensional group of isometries but are neither Lorentzian Bianchi-Cartan-Vranceanu spaces nor plane…

A Ricci soliton is a natural generalization of an Einstein metric. On a pseudo-Riemannian manifold (M, g), it is defined by : $LX g + \r{ho} = {\lambda} g, where X is a smooth vector field on M , LX denotes the Lie derivative in the…
