On the affine group of a normal homogeneous manifold (Q963261)

The author considers special classes of compact homogeneous Riemannian spaces \(M\), in particular the normal homogeneous spaces, the naturally reductive spaces and the isotropy irreducible spaces. These spaces have a canonical connection \(\nabla^c\); a main object of the paper under review is the group Aff\((\nabla^c)\) of affinities of this connection and the relation between it and the group of isometries of the Riemannian manifold (Theorem 1.1, Theorem 1.2).
