Abstract

The property of being a D’Atri space (i.e., a space with volume-preserving symmetries) is equivalent to the infinite number of curvature identities called the odd Ledger conditions. In particular, a Riemannian manifold ( M , g ) satisfying the first odd Ledger condition is said to be of type 𝒜 . The classification of all 3-dimensional D’Atri spaces is well-known. All of them are locally naturally reductive. The first attempts to classify all 4-dimensional homogeneous D’Atri spaces were done in the papers by Podesta-Spiro and Bueken-Vanhecke (which are mutually complementary). The authors started with the corresponding classification of all spaces of type 𝒜 , but this classification was incomplete. Here we present the complete classification of all homogeneous spaces of type 𝒜 in a simple and explicit form and, as a consequence, we prove correctly that all homogeneous 4-dimensional D’Atri spaces are locally naturally reductive.
