We consider four-dimensional Lie groups equipped with left-invariant metrics of signature (2,2). After describing the general structure of four-dimensional Lie algebras with a neutral inner product, we obtain a complete classification of left-invariant Einstein and Ricci-parallel metrics of neutral signature.
Keywords: Lie groups, left-invariant metrics, Einstein metrics, Ricci-parallel metrics, Ricci solitons.
