Abstract:
In this paper the structure of simply-transitive isometry groups of a Riemannian space with nonpositive curvature is studied. The results obtained are then applied to classify Riemannian spaces of negative curvature possessing a metabelian transitive isometry group and also to classify homogeneous Einstein spaces with nonpositive curvature and with dimension $m\leqslant5$.
