A remark on locally homogeneous Riemannian spaces

From MaRDI portal
Publication:1311034





Recently, examples have been found of locally homogeneous Riemannian spaces which are not locally isometric to any globally homogeneous Riemannian space. The main result of this paper is the following one: Every locally homogeneous Riemannian space with nonpositive Ricci curvature can be extended to a globally homogeneous Riemannian space. As a consequence, one obtains the following nontrivial generalization of a theorem by Alekseevskij and Kimel'feld: Any locally homogeneous Riemannian manifold with zero Ricci curvature is locally Euclidean.
