Abstract: We revisit the classification of Lorentz homogeneous spaces of dimension 3, fixing statements in the literature and relaxing usual completeness assumptions. In particular, non-unimodular elliptic plane waves, and only them, are neither locally symmetric nor locally isometric to a left invariant Lorentz metric on a 3-dimensional Lie group. We characterize homogeneous plane waves in dimension 3, and prove they are non-extendable, and geodesically complete only if they are symmetric. Finally, only one non-flat plane wave has a compact model.
