Solvable Lie groups of negative Ricci curvature

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

We consider the question of whether a given solvable Lie group admits a left-invariant metric of strictly negative Ricci curvature. We give necessary and sufficient conditions of the existence of such a metric for the Lie groups the nilradical of whose Lie algebra is either abelian or Heisenberg or standard filiform, and discuss some open questions.
