Rank-one Einstein solvmanifolds of dimension 7. (Q1417342)

The author classifies left invariant Einstein metrics on some class of 7-dimensional solvable Lie groups using the variational approach, proposed by J. Lauret. The problem reduces to the classification of some solvable 7-dimensional Einstein metric Lie algebras \((\mathfrak g, g)\), that is, a Lie algebra \(\mathfrak g\) together with an Euclidean metric \(g\) which satisfy the Einstein equation. More precisely, let \((\mathfrak n ,g)\) be a metric nilpotent Lie algebra and \(d\) a \(g\)-symmetric derivation of \(\mathfrak n\). Then the solvable metric Lie algebra \((\mathfrak g , \widetilde g )\), where \(\mathfrak g = \mathbb R d + \mathfrak n\) is a semidirect sum and \(\widetilde g\) is a natural extension of the metric \(g\) such that \(\widetilde g(d,d) =1\), \(\widetilde g(d,\mathfrak n) =0\) is called a metric rank one solvable extension of \((\mathfrak n, g)\). It is known that if \((\mathfrak g , \tilde g)\) is an Einstein metric Lie algebra which contains \((\mathfrak n, g)\) as a codimension one (metric) nilpotent ideal, then \((\mathfrak g, \widetilde g)\) is a uniquely defined metric rank one solvable extension of \((\mathfrak g, g)\). The author classifies all metric rank one extensions of 6-dimensional metric nilpotent Lie algebras \((\mathfrak n, g)\) which are Einstein metric Lie algebras. She finds 34 metric nilpotent 6-dimensional Lie algebras, which have such extension.
