Abstract: We study the Ricci iteration for homogeneous metrics on spheres and complex projective spaces. Such metrics can be described in terms of modifying the canonical metric on the fibers of a Hopf fibration. When the fibers of the Hopf fibration are circles or spheres of dimension 2 or 7, we observe that the Ricci iteration as well as all ancient Ricci iterations can be completely described using known results. The remaining and most challenging case is when the fibers are spheres of dimension 3. On the 3-sphere itself, using a result of Hamilton on the prescribed Ricci curvature equation, we establish existence and convergence of the Ricci iteration and confirm in this setting a conjecture on the relationship between ancient Ricci iterations and ancient solutions to the Ricci flow. In higher dimensions we obtain sufficient conditions for the solvability of the prescribed Ricci curvature equation as well as partial results on the behavior of the Ricci iteration.
