Transitivity conjecture for Nil-Killing Lie algebras on CSI Lorentzian spaces
Transitivity conjecture for Nil-Killing Lie algebras on CSI Lorentzian spaces
A Lorentzian space is CSI if all of its polynomial curvature invariants are constant. Let be an -dimensional Lorentzian space, and let denote a set of Nil-Killing vector fields on . The set is transitive when
for every point .
Transitivity conjecture. If is an -dimensional Lorentzian space with all curvature invariants constant, then there exists a transitive set .
This conjecture proposes that CSI Lorentzian spaces admit enough Nil-Killing vector fields to act transitively. The source gives this as an expectation based on known CSI examples, but provides no resolution in the stated passage.
