Geodesic completeness of the left-invariant metrics on H n

Abstract: UDC 514 We give the full classification of left-invariant metrics of an arbitrary signature on the Lie group corresponding to the real hyperbolic space. We show that all metrics have constant sectional curvature and that they are geodesically complete only in the Riemannian case.

“…All Riemannian geodesics are complete. In the pseudo-Riemannian case, only partial results are known: all metrics on 2-step nilpotent Lie groups are geodesically complete [13], on the real hyperbolic space R the only complete metrics are the Riemannian ones [21], etc. However, a more general result, or even the classification of groups that admit the pseudo-Riemannian complete metrics, is yet to come.…”

“…All the left invariant Riemannian and Lorentzian metrics on Heisenberg group were classified in [24]. Pseudo-Riemannian metrics of Real hyperbolic space modelled as a Lie group, have been considered both by the variation of Lie brackets [14], and by the variation of inner products [25]. It has been shown in [15] that the only connected and simply-connected Lie groups admitting only one left-invariant Riemannian metric up to scaling and isometry are the Euclidean space, Real hyperbolic space and H 3 × R n (product of three-dimensional Heisenberg group and Euclidian space).…”
