Two-point homogeneous Riemannian manifold

ID: two-point-homogeneous-riemannian-manifold

A connected Riemannian manifold is two-point homogeneous if its isometry group is transitive on ordered pairs at each fixed Riemannian distance. The equal-distance condition is necessary because isometries preserve distance. Round spheres and Euclidean spaces are examples. The unit tangent transitivity characterizes two-point homogeneity lemma shows that this pair condition is equivalent to transitivity on the unit tangent bundle.
