Title: The homogeneous generalized Ricci flow

Abstract: We develop a framework inspired by Lauret's "bracket flow" to study the generalized Ricci flow, as introduced by Streets, on discrete quotients of Lie groups. As a first application, we establish global existence on solvmanifolds in arbitrary dimensions, a result which is new even for the pluriclosed flow. We also define a notion of generalized Ricci soliton on exact Courant algebroids that is geometrically meaningful and allows for non-trivial expanding examples. On nilmanifolds, we show that these solitons arise as rescaled limits of the generalized Ricci flow, provided the initial metrics have "harmonic torsion", and we classify them in low dimensions. Finally, we provide a new formula for the generalized Ricci curvature of invariant generalized metrics in terms of a moment map for the action of a non-reductive real Lie group.
