Homogeneous Einstein metrics on generalized flag manifolds with five isotropy summands (Q2863006)

A Riemannian manifold \(M,g\) is called Einstein if it has constant Ricci curvature. In the present paper a new method is introduced for computing the Ricci tensor for a homogeneous space via Riemannian submersions. The idea is applied to a large class of homogeneous spaces, namely the generalized flag manifolds. These are compact homogeneous spaces of the form \({G\over K}={G\over C(S)},\) where \(G\) is a compact, connected semisimple Lie group and \(C(S)\) is the centralizer of a torus \(S \subset G.\) Their classification is based on the painted Dynkin diagram and their Kähler geometry is very interesting.NEWLINENEWLINEThe aim of the paper is to classify flag manifolds whose isotropy representation decomposes into five irreducible mutually non-equivalent \(Ad(K)\)-submodules NEWLINE\[NEWLINEm=T_0M=m_1\oplus m_2\oplus m_3\oplus m_4\oplus m_5NEWLINE\]NEWLINE and to study the existence of non-Kähler-Einstein metrics.NEWLINENEWLINEGröbner bases are used to study the corresponding polynomial systems for the Einstein equation.
