Flat affine or projective geometries on Lie groups

This paper deals essentially with affine or projective transformations of Lie groups endowed with a flat left invariant affine or projective structure. These groups are called flat affine or flat projective Lie groups. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of flat left invariant projective structures on Lie groups. We also determine Lie groups admitting flat bi-invariant affine or projective structures. These groups could play an essential role in the study of homogeneous spaces M = G/H having a flat affine or flat projective structures invariant under the natural action of G on M. A. Medina asked several years ago if the group of affine transformations of a flat affine Lie group is a flat projective Lie group. In this work we provide a partial positive answer to this question.
