Locally conformally homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian spaces

Abstract

Locally homogeneous Riemannian spaces were studied in [1–4]. Locally conformally homogeneous Riemannian spaces were considered in [10]. Moreover, the theorem claiming that every such space is either conformally flat or conformally equivalent to a locally homogeneous Riemannian space was proved. In this article, we study locally conformally homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian spaces and prove a theorem on their structure. Using three-dimensional Lie groups and the six-dimensional Heisenberg group [11], we construct some examples showing the difference between the Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian cases for such spaces.
