Abstract: We show that noncompact homogeneous spaces not diffeomorphic to Euclidean space of dimension 9 or 10 admit no homogeneous Einstein metrics of negative Ricci curvature, with only three potential exceptions. The main ingredient in the proof is to show, via a cohomogeneity-one approach, that noncompact homogeneous spaces admitting an ideal isomorphic to $mathfrak{sl}_2(mathbbR)$ admit no homogeneous Einstein metrics of negative Ricci curvature.

Review text

The Alekseevskii conjecture states that any connected homogeneous Einstein manifold of negative scalar curvature is diffeomorphic to a Euclidean space. The purpose of the author is to resolve this conjecture for an \(n\)-dimensional manifold such that \(n\le 10\), whenever the manifold is not invariant metric on the universal covers of \(\textsf{Sp}(1,1)/\Delta\textsf{U}(1)\), \(\textsf{Sp}(1,1)\), \(\textsf{Sp}(2,\mathbb R)\), \(\textsf{SL}_3(\mathbb R)\), \(\textsf{SL}_3(\mathbb R)\), \(\textsf{SU}(2,1)\), or \(\textsf{SL}_2(\mathbb C)\).
