Abstract

We classify all left-invariant affine Ricci solitons associated with the Bott connections of two fixed rank-two distributions on the seven standard families of three-dimensional Lorentzian Lie groups. The distributions are defined by a fixed orthogonal change of the spacelike frame. A universal adapted-frame calculation provides explicit connection matrices, curvature operators and the symmetrized Ricci tensor. The equation in the orthogonal-complement direction forces every left-invariant solution to be steady. The remaining equations yield elementary parameter families and finitely many real algebraic branches: four normalized branches for , six branches for each sign parameter in , and two quartic branches in in addition to its elementary families. Resultants, subresultants, exact polynomial reduction and Sturm root isolation establish necessity, sufficiency and exhaustiveness. Degenerate cases are treated separately, including all families with nonunique soliton vector fields. An invertible frame transformation relates the two distribution problems. The classification is in the stated structure parameters; no quotient by isometries, automorphisms or scaling is taken.
