The existence of homogeneous geodesics in homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian and affine manifolds (Q967472): Difference between revisions

The existence of at least one homogeneous geodesic through each point of a homogeneous Riemannian manifold is known by \textit{O. Kowalski} and \textit{J. Szenthe} [Geom. Dedicata 81, No.~1--3, 209--214 (2000); erratum ibid. 84, No.~1--3, 331--332 (2001; Zbl 0980.53061)]. In the present article the author proves the existence of a homogeneous geodesic in any homogeneous affine manifold. As a consequence, the same result is obtained for the subclass of all homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian (not necessarily reductive) manifolds.
