Abstract: The volumes, spectra and geodesics of a recently constructed infinite family of five-dimensional inhomogeneous Einstein metrics on the two $S^3$ bundles over $S^2$ are examined. The metrics are in general of cohomogeneity one but they contain the infinite family of homogeneous metrics $T^{p,1}$. The geodesic flow is shown to be completely integrable, in fact both the Hamilton-Jacobi and the Laplace equation separate. As an application of these results, we compute the zeta function of the Laplace operator on $T^{p,1}$ for large $p$. We discuss the spectrum of the Lichnerowicz operator on symmetric transverse tracefree second rank tensor fields, with application to the stability of Freund-Rubin compactifications and generalised black holes.

Review text

The authors examine the volumes, spectra, and geodesics of an infinite family of 5-dimensional inhomogeneous Einstein metrics on \(S^3\)-bundles over \(S^2\). While these metrics are generally of cohomogeneity one, they also contain an infinite family of homogeneous metrics \(T^{p,0}\). It is shown that the geodesic flow is completely integrable, and both the Hamilton-Jacobi and Laplace equation are separable. For large \(p\) this permits the authors to compute the zeta function of the Laplace operator on \(T^{p,1}\). The spectrum of the Lichnerowicz operator on symmetric transverse tracefree second rank tensor fields is discussed together with possible applications to the stability of generalized black hole space-times. Contents include: Introduction; Laplace spectrum; Zeta function for \(T^{p,1}\) at large \(p\); Hamilton-Jacobi equation and geodesics; Conclusions and future directions; and five appendices dealing with computational details.
