Abstract

A flat solvmanifold is a compact quotient Γ\G\Gamma\backslash G where GG is a simply-connected solvable Lie group endowed with a flat left invariant metric and Γ\Gamma is a lattice of GG. Any such Lie group can be written as G=RkϕRmG=\mathbb{R}^k\ltimes_{\phi} \mathbb{R}^m with Rm\mathbb{R}^m the nilradical. In this article we focus on 6-dimensional splittable flat solvmanifolds, which are obtained quotienting GG by a lattice Γ\Gamma that can be decomposed as Γ=Γ1ϕΓ2\Gamma=\Gamma_1\ltimes_{\phi}\Gamma_2, where Γ1\Gamma_1 and Γ2\Gamma_2 are lattices of Rk\mathbb{R}^k and Rm\mathbb{R}^m, respectively. We obtain their classification by analyzing the conjugacy classes of integer matrices of finite order in dimensions 4 and 5.
