Right-invariant Riemannian metric
ID: right-invariant-riemannian-metric
A Riemannian metric on a Lie group is right-invariant when every right translation is an isometry. It is determined by a positive-definite inner product at the identity, extended with a coframe of right-invariant differential forms. Its translation-generated Killing vector fields are left-invariant, rather than the right-invariant vector fields dual to that coframe.
