Homogeneous Einstein metrics via a cohomogeneity-one approach

Abstract: We establish non-existence results on non-compact homogeneous Einstein manifolds. The key idea in the proof is to consider non-transitive group actions on these spaces (more precisely, actions with cohomogeneity one), and to find geometric monotone quantities for the ODE that results from writing the Einstein equation in such a setting. As an application, we show that homogeneous Einstein metrics on Euclidean spaces are Einstein solvmanifolds. This is joint work with C. Böhm.

Virtual seminar on geometry with symmetries

Series comments: Description: Research seminar in Lie group actions in Riemannian geometry.

The seminar meets every other Wednesday. To accommodate most time zones, the time rotates. The Zoom link is sent to the mailing list around 24 hours before each talk. To subscribe to the mailing list, send a message to geometrywithsymmetries@gmail.com requiring it.
