摘要
Index formulas for the curvature tensors of an invariant metric on a Lie group are obtained. The results are applied to the problem of characterizing invariant metrics of zero and non-zero constant curvature. Killing vector fields for such metrics are constructed and play an important role in the case of flat metrics.
