Let \((M,g)\) be a homogeneous Riemannian manifold. An isocurved deformation of \(g\) on \(M\) is a family of Riemannian metrics \(\{g_t: t\in (0,1)\}\) on \(M\) such that (i) the spaces \((M,g_t)\) are curvature homogeneous and have the same curvature as \((M,g)\). (ii) \(g_0= g\) and \(g_t\) depends smoothly on \(t\). (iii) If \(t\neq \overline t\) then \((M,g_t)\) is not locally isometric to \((M, g_{\overline t})\). Furthermore, if \((M,g_t)\) are not locally homogeneous for any \(t\) then the isocurved deformation is called proper. The author describes the first explicit example of an irreducible homogeneous Riemannian manifold \((M,g)\) possessing a proper isocurved deformation. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0903.00045].
