Abstract: The main result of the paper is a computation of the Ricci curvature of $DS/S^1$. Unlike earlier results on the subject, we do not use the K"{a}hler structure symmetries to compute the Ricci curvature, but rather rely on classical finite-dimensional results of Nomizu et al on Riemannian geometry of homogeneous spaces.
