Abstract
Homogeneous and locally homogeneous spaces are among the most important objects of study in Differential Geometry. They have been extensively investigated using several methods and techniques. When considering a homogeneous space, many geometric properties translate into algebraic properties. However, a difficulty arises, due to the fact that the same pseudo-Riemannian manifold (M, g) can admit several different descriptions as a coset space G / H. It is surprising how little is understood about this problem for many well-known examples of homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian manifolds.
