Prescribing Ricci curvature on complexified symmetric spaces (Q1884474)

The author proves the existence of invariant Ricci flat Kähler metrics on complexifications of symmetrics spaces of compact type. Let \((M,g)\) be a Riemannian symmetric space of compact type and \(p\) a point in \(M\). Let \(G\) be the identity component of the isometry group of \((M,g)\) and let \(K\) the stabilizer of \(p\) in \(G\). Then \(M\simeq G/K\) and the complexification of \(M\) is \(TM\) with the adapted complex structure (see \textit{L. Lempert} and \textit{R. Szöke} [Math. Ann. 290, No. 4, 689--712 (1991; Zbl 0752.32008)]) that can be identified with \(G^c/K^{c_1}\). Theorem 1: Let \((M,g)\) be an irreducible symmetric space of compact type. Let \(G\) and \(K\) be as above and suppose that \(K\) is connected. Let \(\rho\) be a real exact \(G\)-invariant (1.1) form on the complexification \(TM\simeq G^c/K^c\). Then there exists a \(G\)-invariant Kähler metric on \(TM\) whose Ricci form is \(\rho\). The first paragraph of this note is entitled Riemannian symmetric spaces of non-compact type. The standard reference for this section is \textit{S. Helgason} [``Differential geometry, Lie groups, and symmetric spaces'' (Pure and Applied Mathematics 80, New York: Academic Press) (1978; Zbl 0451.53038)]. The second paragraph treats the Monge-Ampère equation on symmetric spaces. Let \((M,g)\) be a Riemannian manifold and \(u: M\to\mathbb{R}\) a smooth function. Then the Hessian of \(u\) is the symmetric \((0,2)\) tensor \(Ddu\) where \(D\) is the Levi-Cività connection of \(g\). Theorem 2.1: Let \(M\simeq p\) be a symmetric space of noncompact type and let \(u\) be a \(K\)-invariant (smooth) function on \(M\). Then (1) \(u\) is \(g_0\)-convex if and only if \(u\) is \(g_0\)-convex (2) The following equality of Monge-Ampère operators holds: \(M_g(u)= F\cdot M_{g_0}(u)\), where \(F: M\to\mathbb{R}\) is a positive \(K\)-invariant smooth function depending only on \(M\).
