Pseudo-Riemannian Symmetries on Heisenberg group H3\mathbb{H}_{3}

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

The notion of ΓΓ-symmetric space is a natural generalization of the classical notion of symmetric space based on $\z_2$-grading of Lie algebras. In our case, we consider homogeneous spaces G/HG/H such that the Lie algebra $\g$ of GG admits a ΓΓ-grading where ΓΓ is a finite abelian group. In this work we study Riemannian metrics and Lorentzian metrics on the Heisenberg group H3\mathbb{H}_3 adapted to the symmetries of a ΓΓ-symmetric structure on H3\mathbb{H}_3. We prove that the classification of $\z_2^2$-symmetric Riemannian and Lorentzian metrics on H3\mathbb{H}_3 corresponds to the classification of left invariant Riemannian and Lorentzian metrics, up to isometries. This gives examples of non-symmetric Lorentzian homogeneous spaces.
