The notion of 2-conformal vector fields on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds, which arose naturally in the study of hyperbolic solitons, is introduced by Fasihi-Ramandi, De, and Shamkhali. In this paper, we study invariant 2-conformal vector fields on four-dimensional non-reductive pseudo-Riemannian homogeneous manifolds G/H. Consequently, the complete classification of such vector fields is achieved, together with the necessary and sufficient conditions for their existence. The results are then applied to Lorentzian and neutral signatures, where 2-conformal vector fields provide an effective criterion for detecting 2-conformal equivalences in geometries with limited algebraic symmetries.
Chen et al. (Sun,) studied this question.
