In this paper, we study Lorentzian left invariant Einstein metrics on nilpotent Lie groups. We show that if the center of such Lie groups is degenerate then they are Ricci-flat and their Lie algebras can be obtained by the double extension…

To determine the Lie groups that admit a flat (eventually complete) left invariant semi-Riemannian metric is an open and difficult problem. The main aim of this paper is the study of the flatness of left invariant semi Riemannian metrics on…

We call a metric $m$-quasi-Einstein if $Ric_X^m$, which replaces a gradient of a smooth function $f$ by a vector field $X$ in $m$-Bakry-Emery Ricci tensor, is a constant multiple of the metric tensor. It is a generalization of Einstein…

We introduce a systematic method to produce left-invariant, non-Ricci-flat Einstein metrics of indefinite signature on nice nilpotent Lie groups. On a nice nilpotent Lie group, we give a simple algebraic characterization of non-Ricci-flat…

The structure of a solvable Lie groups admitting an Einstein left-invariant metric is, in a sense, completely determined by the nilradical of its Lie algebra. We give an easy-to-check necessary and sufficient condition for a nilpotent…

A Riemannian manifold $(M,\rho)$ is called Einstein if the metric $\rho$ satisfies the condition $\Ric (\rho)=c\cdot \rho$ for some constant $c$. This paper is devoted to the investigation of $G$-invariant Einstein metrics with additional…

Let $(N, J)$ be a simply connected $2n$-dimensional nilpotent Lie group endowed with an invariant complex structure. We define a left invariant Riemannian metric on $N$ compatible with $J$ to be minimal, if it minimizes the norm of the…

In this paper we prove that the compact Lie group $G_2$ admits a left-invariant Einstein metric that is not geodesic orbit. In order to prove the required assertion, we develop some special tools for geodesic orbit Riemannian manifolds. It…

We give a characterization of the $2$-step nilpotent Lie algebras whose corresponding Lie groups admit a left invariant complex structure. This is done by considering separately the cases when the complex structure is 2-step or 3-step…

We classify nilpotent Lie algebras with complex structures of weakly non-nilpotent type in real dimension eight, which is the lowest dimension where they arise. Our study, together with previous results on strongly non-nilpotent structures,…

Let (N,J) be a real 2n-dimensional nilpotent Lie group endowed with an invariant complex structure. A left-invariant Riemannian metric on N compatible with J is said to be minimal, if it minimizes the norm of the invariant part of the Ricci…

We study the relation between two special classes of Riemannian Lie groups $G$ with a left-invariant metric $g$: The Einstein Lie groups, defined by the condition $\operatorname{Ric}_g=cg$, and the geodesic orbit Lie groups, defined by the…

There are five six-dimensional nilpotent Lie groups G, which do not admit neither symplectic, nor complex structures and, therefore, can be neither almost pseudo-Kahler, nor almost Hermitian. In this work, these Lie groups are being…

A Riemannian Einstein solvmanifold is called standard, if the orthogonal complement to the nilradical of its Lie algebra is abelian. No examples of nonstandard solvmanifolds are known. We show that the standardness of an Einstein metric…
