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. |
