Is the Moebius strip Riemannian homogeneous?
Let $ M $ be the Moebius band. In other words, the total space of the nontrivial line bundle over the circle. Can we equip $ M $ with a metric such the the isometry group acts transitively?

noncompact Riemannian homogeneous is trivial vector bundle over compact homogeneous
Is it true that a manifold $ E $ admits a metric with respect to which the isometry group is transitive ($ E $ is Riemannian homogeneous) if and only if $ E $ is the total space of a $ K $ equivariant ...

Submanifold of Lie group whose tangent bundle is "almost" left-invariant
Let $G$ be a Lie group equipped with a left-invariant Riemannian metric, and let $M$ be a submanifold of $G$ containing the identity $e\in G$.
It is not difficult to show that, if the tangent bundle $...
