Gromov proposed to extract the (differential) geometric content of a sub-riemannian space exclusively from its Carnot-Carath\'eodory distance. One of the most striking features of a regular sub-riemannian space is that it has at any point a…

In this paper, left-invariant almost contact metric structures on three-dimensional non-unimodular Lie groups are investigated. It is proved that for every Riemannian Lie group, there is one of these structures. In addition, left-invariant…

We study isometric actions of Lie $2$-groups on Riemannian groupoids by exhibiting some of their immediate properties and implications. Firstly, we prove an existence result which allows both to obtain 2-equivariant versions of the Slice…

We consider left-invariant (purely) coclosed G$_2$-structures on 7-dimensional 2-step nilpotent Lie groups. According to the dimension of the commutator subgroup, we obtain various criteria characterizing the Riemannian metrics induced by…

We study the actions of a Lie group $G$ by birationally extendible automorphisms on a domain $D\subset C^n$. For a large class of such domains defined by polynomial inequalities, all automorphisms are of this type. In the cases 1) $G$ has…

We show that certain right-invariant metrics endow the infinite-dimensional Lie group of all smooth orientation-preserving diffeomorphisms of the circle with a Riemannian structure. The study of the Riemannian exponential map allows us to…

In this work we investigate solvable and nilpotent Lie groups with special metrics. The metrics of interest are left-invariant Einstein and algebraic Ricci soliton metrics. Our main result shows that the existence of a such a metric is…

Using vertical and complete lifts, any left invariant Riemannian metric on a Lie group induces a left invariant Riemannian metric on the tangent Lie group. In the present article we study the Riemannian geometry of tangent bundle of two…

For all left-invariant Riemannian metrics on three-dimensional unimodular Lie groups, there exist particular left-invariant orthonormal frames, so-called Milnor frames. In this paper, for any left-invariant Riemannian metrics on any Lie…

We discuss negatively curved homogeneous spaces admitting a simply transitive group of isometries, or equivalently, negatively curved left-invariant metrics on Lie groups. Negatively curved spaces have a remarkably rich and diverse…

Let $L$ be an algebra over a field $F$ with the binary operations $+$ and $[,]$. Then $L$ is called a left Leibniz algebra if it satisfies the left Leibniz identity: $[[a,b],c]=[a,[b,c]]-[b,[a,c]]$ for all elements $a,b,c\in L$. A linear…

A topological group $G$ is said to have the L\'evy property if it admits a dense subgroup which is decomposed as the union of an increasing sequence of compact subgroups $\mathcal{G}=\{G_i:i\in\mathbb{N}\}$ of $G$ which exhibits…

The Oscillator Groups,$\G_\lambda,$ are the only solvable, non commutative, simply connected Lie groups to admit a Lorentzian bi-invariant metric. For these groups, we give sufficient conditions for a left-invariant pseudo-Riemannian metric…

We give a complete classification, up to isometric isomorphism and scaling, of $4$-dimensional metric Lie algebras $(\mathfrak{g},\langle \cdot,\cdot \rangle)$ that admit a non-zero parallel skew-symmetric endomorphism. In particular, we…

For each connected and simply connected three-dimensional non-unimodular Lie group, we classify the left invariant Lorentzian metrics up to automorphism, and study the extent to which curvature can be altered by a change of metric. Thereby…

Cyclic metric Lie groups are Lie groups equipped with a left-invariant metric which is in some way far from being biinvariant, in a sense made explicit in terms of Tricerri and Vanhecke's homogeneous structures. The semisimple and solvable…

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group of dimension $m$. Once a bi-invariant metric on $G$ is fixed, left-invariant metrics on $G$ are in correspondence with $m\times m$ positive definite symmetric matrices. We estimate the diameter and…

This paper is connected with the problem of describing path metric spaces that are homeomorphic to manifolds and biLipschitz homogeneous, i.e., whose biLipschitz homeomorphism group acts transitively. Our main result is the following. Let…

We propose a geometric integrator to numerically approximate the flow of Lie systems. The key is a novel procedure that integrates the Lie system on a Lie group intrinsically associated with a Lie system on a general manifold via a Lie…

We study the Ricci tensor of left-invariant pseudoriemannian metrics on Lie groups. For an appropriate class of Lie groups that contains nilpotent Lie groups, we introduce a variety with a natural $\mathrm{GL}(n,\mathbb{R})$ action, whose…
