摘要

Let G be a Lie group equipped with a left-invariant Riemannian metric. Let K be a semisimple and normal subgroup of G generating a left-invariant conformal foliation \(\mathcal {F}\) F on G. We then show that the foliation \(\mathcal {F}\) F is Riemannian and minimal. This means that locally the leaves of \(\mathcal {F}\) F are fibres of a harmonic morphism. We also prove that if the metric restricted to K is biinvariant then \(\mathcal {F}\) F is totally geodesic.
