Abstract

The purpose of this article is to study the two homogeneous structures of the unit bundle $U H^n$ of a real hyperbolic space, namely

$$
U H^n \simeq S O_0(1, n) / S O(n-1)
$$

and

$$
U H^n \simeq S O_0(1, n) \times S O_0(1,1) / S O(n-1) \times S O_0(1,1)
$$


In both the cases, we determine the $G$-invariant Riemannian metrics. In passing, we examine whether the geodesic flow is an isometry of $U H^n$ when equipped with its Levi-Civita metric.

Finally, we study the manifold of geodesics of $H^n$ seen as a homogeneous space.
