Abstract

We consider three- and four-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian generalized symmetric spaces, whose invariant metrics were explicitly described in Černý and Kowalski (1982). While four-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian generalized symmetric spaces of types A, C and D are algebraic Ricci solitons, the ones of type B are not so. The Ricci soliton equation for their metrics yields a system of partial differential equations. Solving such system,weprove that almost all the four-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian generalized symmetric spaces of type B are Ricci solitons. These examples show some deep differences arising for the Ricci soliton equation between the Riemannian and the pseudo-Riemannian cases, as any homogeneous Riemannian Ricci soliton is algebraic Jablonski (2015). We also investigate three-dimensional generalized symmetric spaces of any signature and prove that they are Ricci solitons.
