Abstract

The purpose of the work is the description of three-dimensional reductive non-symmetric homogeneous spaces that do not admit invariant equiaffine connections. The basic notions, such as isotropically-faithful pair, reductive and symmetric space, affine connection, curvature and torsion tensors, Ricci tensor, equiaffine connection are defined. In the main part of the work, for three-dimensional reductive nonsymmetric homogeneous spaces on which an unsolvable Lie group of transformations acts, it is determined under what conditions the space does not admit equiaffine connections. The results can be used in the study of manifolds, as well as have applications in various fields of mathematics and physics, since many fundamental problems in these fields are connected with the study of in-variant objects on homogeneous spaces. Studies are based on the application of properties of the homogeneous spaces and structures on them and they mainly have local character. The peculiarity of presented techniques is the use of purely algebraic approach to the description of manifolds and connections on them.
