Recently A, Malcev has shown that the homogeneous space of a connected nilpotent Lie group G is the direct product of a compact space and an Euclidean-space and that the compact space of this direct decomposition is also a homogeneous space of a connected subgroup of G. Any compact homogeneous space M of a connected nilpotent Lie group is of the form where is a connected simply connected nilpotent group whose structure constants are rational numbers in a suitable coordinate system and D is a discrete subgroup of G.
