Abstract: We study isometric cohomogeneity one actions on the (n+1)-dimensional Minkowski space up to orbit-equivalence. We give examples of isometric cohomogeneity one actions on the Minkowski space whose orbit spaces are non-Hausdorff. We show that there exist isometric cohomogeneity one actions on the Minkowski space which are orbit-equivalent on the complement of an n-dimensional degenerate subspace and not orbit-equivalent on this degenerate subspace. We classify isometric cohomogeneity one actions on 2- and 3-dimensional Minkowski spaces up to orbit-equivalence.

Review text

In this interesting paper, the authors investigate cohomogeneity-one actions on the \((n+1)\)-dimensional Minkowski space \(L^{n+1}\). The main contributions of the article are the following. 1. It is proved that there exist isometric cohomogeneity-one actions on \(L^{n+1}\), \(n \geq 3\), which are orbit-equivalent on the complement of an \(n\)-dimensional degenerate subspace \(W^n\) of \(L^{n+1}\) and not orbit-equivalent on \(W^n\). 2. All cohomogeneity-one actions on the Minkowski plane \(L^2\) are completely determined up to orbit-equivalence. 3. All cohomogeneity-one actions in the Minkowski space \(L^3\) are completely classified up to orbit-equivalence.
