Abstract

Let M = G/K be a homogeneous differentiable manifold. We consider the homogeneous bundle \( \Im \) = (G, π, G/K, K) and the tangent bundle τ G/K of M = G/K, and give some results about the existence of homogeneous vectors on the fiber space of τ G/K, for both cases of G semisimple and weakly semisimple.
