We provide a classification of $ts$-invariant sub-Lorentzian structures on $3$ dimensional contact Lie groups. Our approach is based on invariants arising form the construction of a normal Cartan connection.

We introduce two constructions to obtain left-invariant Ricci-flat pseudo-Riemannian metrics on nilpotent Lie groups, one based on gradings, the other on filtrations, both depending on the combinatorics of the set of weights. As an…

In this paper, we discuss the decomposition of a Lie group with a left invariant pseudo-Riemannian metric and the uniqueness. In fact, it is a decomposition of a Lie group into totally geodesic sub-manifolds which is different from the De…

In this paper, we generalize the notion of cyclic metric to homogeneous Finsler geometry. Firstly, we prove that a homogeneous Finsler space $(G/H, F)$ must be symmetric when it satisfies the naturally reductive and cyclic conditions…

This paper presents a systematic study of the structure of non-solvable cyclic metric Lie algebras. A cyclic metric is a symmetric bilinear form satisfying a cyclic cocycle condition, which arises naturally in the contexts of…

We construct 4-dimensional Riemannian Lie groups carrying left-invariant conformal foliations with minimal leaves of codimension 2. We show that these foliations are holomorphic with respect to an (integrable) Hermitian structure which is…

We call a metric $m$-quasi-Einstein if $Ric_X^m$ (a modification of the $m$-Bakry-Emery Ricci tensor in terms of a suitable vector field $X$) is a constant multiple of the metric tensor. It is a generalization of Einstein metrics which…

We show that a left invariant metric on a compact Lie group $G$ which is obtained by stretching a biinvariant metric in the direction of a subalgebra $\h$ of $\g$ always has some negative sectional curvature, unless the semi-simple part of…
