This work deals with the structure of the isometry group of pseudo-Riemannian 2-step nilmanifolds. We study the action by isometries of several groups and we construct examples showing substantial differences with the Riemannain situation;…

We present a novel construction of linear deformations for Lie algebras and use it to prove the non-rigidity of several classes of Lie algebras in different varieties. We consider the family of Lie algebras with an abelian factor showing…

We investigate special Killing vector fields on 3-dimensional Riemannian manifolds of biwarped product-type. Starting from a diagonal metric on $\mathbb R^3$ determined by two nontrivial warping functions and a constant scaling factor, we…

Using the Lie derivative of the metric we define a class of Lie algebras of vector fields by generalising the concept of Killing vectors. As a Lie algebra they define locally a group action on the pseudo-Riemannian manifold through…

A real Lie algebra is said to be characteristically solvable if its derivation algebra is solvable. We explicitly determine the moduli space of left-invariant metrics, up to isometric automorphism, for $6$-dimensional nilmanifolds whose…
