arXiv:0904.1256

Abstract

One shows that Cartan's method of adapted frames in Chapter XII of his famous treatise of Riemannian geometry, leads to a classification theorem of homogeneous Riemannian manifolds. Examples of classification in 3D dimensions obtained by Cartan are given using this powerful method.
