Abstract: A Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ is called Einstein manifold if its Ricci tensor satisfies $r=c\cdot g$ for some constant $c$. General existence results are hard to obtain, e.g., it is as yet unknown whether every compact manifold admits an Einstein metric. A natural approach is to impose additional homogeneous assumptions. M. Y. Wang and W. Ziller have got some results on compact homogeneous space $G/H$. They investigate standard homogeneous metrics, the metric induced by Killing form on $G/H$, and get some classification results. In this paper some more general homogeneous metrics on some homogeneous space $G/H$ are studies, and a necessary and sufficient condition for this metric to be Einstein is given. The authors also give some examples of Einstein manifolds with non-standard homogeneous metrics.
