We prove that any invariant hypercomplex structure on a homogeneous space $M = G/L$ where $G$ is a compact Lie group is obtained via the Joyce's construction, provided that there exists a hyper-Hermitian naturally reductive invariant metric…

It is well known that every compact simple Lie group G admits an Einstein metric that is invariant under the independent left and right actions of G. In addition to this bi-invariant metric, with G x G symmetry, it was shown by D'Atri and…

In this paper, we examine Lie group actions on moduli spaces (sets themselves built as quotients by group actions) and their fixed points. We show that when the Lie group is compact and connected, we obtain a linear constraint. This…

We study the geodesic orbit property for nilpotent Lie groups $N$ when endowed with a pseudo-Riemannian left-invariant metric. We consider this property with respect to different groups acting by isometries. When $N$ acts on itself by…
