Invariant Einstein metrics on some homogeneous spaces of classical Lie groups

preprint2007arXivOpen access

Abstract

A Riemannian manifold (M,ρ)(M,ρ) is called Einstein if the metric ρρ satisfies the condition $\Ric (ρ)=c\cdot ρ$ for some constant cc. This paper is devoted to the investigation of GG-invariant Einstein metrics with additional symmetries, on some homogeneous spaces G/HG/H of classical groups. As a consequence, we obtain new invariant Einstein metrics on some Stiefel manifolds SO(n)/SO(l)SO(n)/SO(l), and on the symplectic analogues Sp(n)/Sp(l)Sp(n)/Sp(l). Furthermore, we show that for any positive integer pp there exists a Stiefel manifold SO(n)/SO(l)SO(n)/SO(l) and a homogenous space Sp(n)/Sp(l)Sp(n)/Sp(l) which admit at least pp SO(n) (resp. Sp(n)Sp(n))-invariant Einstein metrics.
