    It is well known that a simply connected 3-dimensional homogeneous manifold has an isometry group of dimension 3, 4 or 6. If the dimension is 3, then the manifold has the geometry of the Lie group \(\mathrm{Sol}_3\), while if the dimension is 6, then the manifold is a real space form, namely \(\mathbb{R}^3\), \(\mathbb{S}^3\) or \(\mathbb{H}^3\). On the other hand, if the isometry group has dimension 4, then the manifold is a Riemannian fibration over a 2-dimensional space form, the fibers are geodesics and there exists a one-parameter family of translations along the fibers, generated by a unit Killing field \(\xi\), called the \textit{vertical vector field}. These manifolds are usually denoted by \(\mathbb{E}(\kappa,\tau)\) because they are classified, up to isometry, by the curvature \(\kappa\) of the base surface of the fibration and the bundle curvature \(\tau\), where \(\kappa\) and \(\tau\) can be any real numbers satisfying \(\kappa-4\tau^2\neq0\). In this nice paper, the authors prove that any complete surface with constant mean curvature in \(\mathbb{E}(\kappa,\tau)\) which is transversal to \(\xi\) is, actually, a vertical graph.
