Examples of algebraic Ricci solitons in the pseudo-Riemannian case (Q485040)

A simply connected Lie Group \((G, g)\) endowed with a left-invariant pseudo-Riemannian metric \(g\) is called an algebraic Ricci soliton if \[ \mathrm{Ric} = c\mathrm{Id}+ D \] where \(\mathrm{Ric}\) denotes the Ricci operator, \(c\) is a real number, and \(D \in \mathrm{Der}(\mathcal G)\) and \(\mathcal G\) denotes the Lie algebra of \(G\). In this paper, the author studies algebraic Ricci solitons on Lorentzian Lie groups and proves that if \(g\) is an algebraic Ricci soliton, then, \(g\) is a Ricci soliton. In the Riemannian case, we know that all nontrivial homogeneous algebraic Ricci solitons are expanding Ricci solitons. In contrary to this, in the Lorentzian case the author shows that the steady and shrinking subcases do exist. The paper also contains some examples.
