Metric Groups and Homogeneous Spaces
摘要
In differential geometry, the term homogeneous space refers to the quotient space of a Lie group modulo a closed subgroup, which results in a manifold with a smooth transitive action of the Lie group. Instead, in metric geometry and, more generally, in analysis on metric spaces, the term homogeneous often refers to functions that, when precomposed with dilations of the space, scale by certain constants; see Exercise 6.6.12.
