Stability of the non–Symmetric space E7/PSO(8)

Abstract: In my talk I will present a new result on the stability of Einstein metrics obtained in a recent preprint with Paul Schwahn and Gregor Weingart. There we prove that the normal metric on the homogeneous space E7/PSO(8) is stable with respect to the Einstein-Hilbert action, thereby exhibiting the first known example of a non-symmetric metric of positive scalar curvature with this property.

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.
