New flow deforms Riemannian metrics smoothly.

The aim of this note is the study of Einstein condition for para-holomorphic Riemannian metrics in the para-complex geometry framework. Firstly, we make some general considerations about para-complex Riemannian manifolds (not necessarily para-holomorphic). Next, using an one-to-one correspondence between para-holomorph…

In this paper, we study an important class of Finsler metrics--square metrics. We give two expressions of such metrics in terms of a Riemannian metric and a 1-form. We show that Einstein square metrics can be classified up to the classification of Einstein Riemannian metrics.

New Einstein metrics found on specific Lie algebras.

We study the linear stability of Einstein metrics of Riemannian submersion type. First, we derive a general instability condition for such Einstein metrics and provide some applications. Then we study instability arising from Riemannian product structures on the base. As an application, we estimate the coindex of the E…

In this article, we study Einstein Kropina metrics on Lie groups and homogeneous spaces. We give a method to construct Einstein Kropina metrics on Lie groups. As an example of this method, a family of non-Riemannian Einstein Kropina metrics on the special orthogonal group $SO(n)$ is given. Then, we classify all left in…

Classifies Heisenberg-invariant self-dual Einstein manifolds with explicit metrics.

All known examples of homogeneous Einstein metrics of negative Ricci curvature can be realized as left-invariant Riemannian metrics on solvable Lie groups. After defining a notion of maximal symmetry among left-invariant Riemannian metrics on a Lie group, we prove that any left-invariant Einstein metric of negative Ric…

Researchers found a non-Ricci-flat Einstein metric on a 7D nilpotent Lie group.

The notion of quasi-Einstein metric in physics is equivalent to the notion of Ricci soliton in Riemannian spaces. Quasi-Einstein metrics serve also as solution to the Ricci flow equation. Here, the Riemannian metric is replaced by a Hessian matrix derived from a Finsler structure and a quasi-Einstein Finsler metric is …

In this paper, a characteristic condition of Einstein Kropina metrics is given. By the characteristic condition, we prove that a non-Riemannian Kropina metric $F=\frac{α^2}β$ with constant Killing form $β$ on an n-dimensional manifold $M$, $n\geq 2$, is an Einstein metric if and only if $α$ is also an Einstein metric. …

We prove the following statement: Let g be a light-line-complete pseudo-Riemannian Einstein metric of indefinite signature on a connected (n>2)-dimensional manifold M. Assume that a conformally equivalent metric is also Einstein. Then, the metrics are proportional with a constant coefficient. If in addition the manifol…

The paper studies metrics on manifolds with scalar curvature properties.

The paper extends metrics and solitons on toric Fano manifolds with irregular Sasaki-Einstein metrics.

In this paper, we first prove that homogeneous spaces $E_6/A_4$ and $E_6/A_1$ admit Einstein metrics which are $Ad(T\times A_1\times A_4)$-invariant, and then show that they admit Non-Riemannian Einstein-Randers metrics.

Researchers prove existence of a special Einstein metric on a 12-dimensional sphere.

Study on pseudo-Riemannian metrics on Lie groups, finding new non-Einstein examples.

We prove that every complete Einstein (Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian) metric $g$ is geodesically rigid: if any other complete metric $\bar g$ has the same (unparametrized) geodesics with $g$, then the Levi-Civita connections of $g$ and $\bar g$ coincide.

Two specific Einstein metrics found on a product of SL(2,R) groups.

The invariant metric affine connections on Berger spheres which are Einstein with skew torsion are determined in both Riemannian and Lorentzian signature. Expressions of such connections are explicitly given. In particular, every Berger sphere with Lorentzian signature admits invariant metric affine connections Einstei…

Study characterizes Einstein metrics in warped product spaces.

Study on Einstein manifolds with specific properties.

We call a metric $m$-quasi-Einstein if $Ric_X^m$ (a modification of the $m$-Bakry-Emery Ricci tensor in terms of a suitable vector field $X$) is a constant multiple of the metric tensor. It is a generalization of Einstein metrics which contains Ricci solitons. In this paper, we focus on left-invariant vector fields and…

New examples of degenerating metrics on R^4 found.

The paper classifies all left invariant metrics on complex hyperbolic space.

In this paper, we use a Killing form on a Riemannian manifold to construct a class of Finsler metrics. We find equations that characterize Einstein metrics among this class. In particular, we construct a family of Einstein metrics on $S^3$ with ${\rm Ric} = 2 F^2$, ${\rm Ric}=0$ and ${\rm Ric}=- 2 F^2$, respectively. T…

The paper computes metrics and Einstein tensors on even-dimensional manifolds.

The paper presents the Einstein connection for nonsymmetric pseudo-Riemannian manifolds.

An indecomposable Lie group with Riemannian bi-invariant metric is always simple and hence Einstein. For indefinite metrics this is no longer true, not even for simple Lie groups. We study the question of whether a semi-Riemannian bi-invariant metric is conformal to an Einstein metric. We obtain results for all three c…

Ricci solitons as critical points of quadratic curvature functionals

If $M$ is the underlying smooth oriented $4$-manifold of a Del Pezzo surface, we consider the set of Riemannian metrics $h$ on $M$ such that $W^+(ω, ω)> 0$, where $W^+$ is the self-dual Weyl curvature of $h$, and $ω$ is a non-trivial self-dual harmonic $2$-form on $(M,h)$. While this open region in the space of Riemann…

Weakly Einstein Kähler surfaces are characterized and classified.

Two pseudo-Riemannian metrics are called projectively equivalent if their unparametrized geodesics coincide. The degree of mobility of a metric is the dimension of the space of metrics that are projectively equivalent to it. We give a complete list of possible values for the degree of mobility of Riemannian and Lorentz…

The study constructs gradient Einstein-type warped metrics and proves nonexistence and rigidity results.

It is well known that the Einstein equation on a Riemannian flag manifold $(G/K,g)$ reduces to an algebraic system if $g$ is a $G$-invariant metric. In this paper we obtain explicitly new invariant Einstein metrics on generalized flag manifolds of $Sp(n)$ and $SO(2n)$; and we compute the Einstein system for generalized…

The problem of characterizing conformally Einstein manifolds by tensorial conditions has been tackled recently in papers by M. Listing, and in work by A. R. Gover and P. Nurowski. Their results apply to metrics satisfying a "non-degeneracy" condition on the Weyl tensor \W. We investigate the geometry of the foliations …

The holonomy algebras of Einstein not Ricci-flat pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of arbitrary signature are classified. As illustrating examples, the cases of Lorentzian manifolds, pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of signature $(2,n)$ and the para-quaternionic-Kählerian manifolds with non-zero scalar curvature are considered. E…
