Abstract: | A very important class of homogeneous Riemannian manifolds are the so-called normal homogeneous spaces, which have associated
a canonical connection. In this study, we obtain geometrically the (connected component of the) group of affine transformations
with respect to the canonical connection for a normal homogeneous space. The naturally reductive case is also treated. This
completes the geometric calculation of the isometry group of naturally reductive spaces. In addition, we prove that for normal
homogeneous spaces the set of fixed points of the full isotropy is a torus. As an application of our results it follows that
the holonomy group of a homogeneous fibration is contained in the group of (canonically) affine transformations of the fibers;
in particular, this holonomy group is a Lie group (this is a result of Guijarro and Walschap). |
