Abstract: Consider a connected homogeneous Riemannian manifold $(M,d{s}^2)$ and a Riemannian covering $$. If $$ is homogeneous then every $gammainGamma$ is an isometry of constant displacement. The Homogeneity Conjecture suggests the converse: if every $gammainGamma$ is an isometry of constant displacement on $(M,d{s}^2)$ then $$ is homogeneous. We survey the cases in which the Homogeneity Conjecture has been verified, including some new results, and suggest some related open problems.
