### On a characterization of unbounded homogeneous domains with boundaries of light cone type

#### Abstract

We determine the automorphism groups of unbounded homogeneous domains with boundaries of light cone type. Furthermore we present a group-theoretic characterization of one of the domains. As a corollary we prove the non-existence of compact quotients of the homogeneous domain. We also give a counterexample of the characterization.
