Received May 26, 2016.   First published February 14, 2018.

Abstract:  We study harmonic metrics with respect to the class of invariant metrics on non-reductive homogeneous four dimensional manifolds. In particular, we consider harmonic lifted metrics with respect to the Sasaki lifts, horizontal lifts and complete lifts of the metrics under study.
Keywords:  harmonic metric; non-reductive homogeneous space; pseudo-Riemannian geometry
Classification MSC:  53C43, 53C55
