compact solvmanifold

A compact quotient space of a connected solvable Lie group (cf. Lie group, solvable; sometimes, however, compactness is not required). A particular case is a nil manifold. Compared with the latter the general case is considerably more complicated, but there is a complete structure theory for it too.
