Given that a connected Lie group with nilpotent radical acts transitively by isometries on a connected Riemannian manifold , the structure of the full connected isometry group of and the imbedding of in are described. In particular, if equals its derived subgroup and its Levi factors are of noncompact type, then is normal in . In the special case of a simply transitive action of on , a transitive normal subgroup of is constructed with and a sufficient condition...
