A Lorentzian flat Lie group is a Lie group $G$ with a flat left invariant metric $\mu$ with signature $(1,n-1)=(-,+,\ldots,+)$. The Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}=T_eG$ of $G$ endowed with $\langle\;,\;\rangle=\mu(e)$ is called flat Lorentzian…

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 consider Lie groups equipped with a left-invariant cyclic Lorentzian metric. As in the Riemannian case, in terms of homogeneous structures, such metrics can be considered as different as possible from bi-invariant metrics. We show that…

In 1976, Milnor classified all Lie groups admitting a flat left-invariant metric. They form a special type of unimodular 2-step solvable groups. Considering Lie groups with Hermitian structure, namely, a left-invariant complex structure and…

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…
