Abstract: The classification of homogeneous compact Einstein manifolds in dimension six is an open problem. We consider the remaining open case, namely left-invariant Einstein metrics $g$ on $G=mathrmSU(2)imesmathrmSU(2)=S^{3}imes{S}^3$. Einstein metrics are critical points of the total scalar curvature functional for fixed volume. The scalar curvature $S$ of a left-invariant metric $g$ is constant and can be expressed as a rational function in the parameters determining the metric. The critical points of $S$, subject to the volume constraint, are given by the zero locus of a system of polynomials in the parameters. In general, however, the determination of the zero locus is apparently out of reach. Instead, we consider the case where the isotropy group $K$ of $g$ in the group of motions is non-trivial. When $Kotcongmathbb{Z}_2$ we prove that the Einstein metrics on $G$ are given by (up to homothety) either the standard metric or the nearly K"ahler metric, based on representation-theoretic arguments and computer algebra. For the remaining case $Kcongmathbb{Z}_2$ we present partial results.
