The search for solitons on homogeneous spaces

Abstract

The concept of soliton, in its most general version, allows us to find canonical or distinguished elements on any set provided with an equivalence relation and an `optimal' tangent direction at each point. We study in this paper solitons on homogeneous spaces, which have consolidated its role as a quite useful tool to find soliton geometric structures in Riemannian, pseudo-Riemannian, complex, symplectic and G2 geometries.
