Abstract
We construct locally homogeneous six-dimensional nearly Kähler manifolds as quotients of homogeneous nearly Kähler manifolds M by freely acting finite subgroups of \({{\mathrm{Aut}}}_0(M)\). We show that non-trivial such groups do only exists if \(M=S^3\times S^3\). In that case, we classify all freely acting subgroups of \({{\mathrm{Aut}}}_0(M)=\text {SU}(2) \times \text {SU}(2) \times \text {SU}(2)\) of the form \(A\times B\), where \(A\subset \text {SU}(2) \times \text {SU}(2)\) and \(B\subset \text {SU}(2)\).
