Geodesically Equivalent Metrics on Homogenous Spaces

Two metrics on a manifold are geodesically equivalent if sets of their unparameterized geodesics coincide. In this paper we show that if two left $G$-invariant metrics of arbitrary signature on homogenous space $G/H$ are geodesically equivalent, they are affinely equivalent, i.e. they have the same Levi-Civita connection. We also prove that existence of non-proportional, geodesically equivalent, $G$-invariant metrics on homogenous space $G/H$ implies that their holonomy algebra cannot be full. We give an algorithm for finding all left invariant metrics geodesically equivalent to a given left invariant metric on a Lie group. Using that algorithm we prove that no two left invariant metric, of any signature, on sphere $S^3$ are geodesically equivalent. However, we present examples of Lie groups that admit geodesically equivalent, non-proportional, left-invariant metrics.
