The Homogeneity Conjecture is that $\\Gamma\\backslash (M,ds^2)$ is (globally) homogeneous if and only if $(M,ds^2)$ is homogeneous and every $\\gamma \\in \\Gamma$ is of constant displacement on $(M,ds^2)$. We provide further evidence for that conjecture by (i) verifying it for normal homogeneous Riemannian manifolds of positive curvature and (ii) showing that in most cases the normality condition can be dropped.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-06-15T17:47:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "22E45", "43A80", "32M15", "53B30", "53B35" ], "keywords": [ "positive curvature", "global homogeneity", "study globally homogeneous riemannian quotients", "normal homogeneous riemannian manifolds", "constant displacement" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
