Abstract: We study homogeneous Einstein metrics on indecomposable non-K"ahlerian C-spaces, i.e. even-dimensional torus bundles $M=G/H$ with $mathsfrankG>mathsfrankH$ over flag manifolds $F=G/K$ of a compact simple Lie group $G$. Based on the theory of painted Dynkin diagrams we present the classification of such spaces. Next we focus on the family [ M_{ell, m, n}:=mathsf{SU}(ell+m+n)/mathsf{SU}(ell) imesmathsf{SU}(m) imesmathsf{SU}(n),,quad ell, m, ninmathbb{Z}_{+} ] and examine several of its geometric properties. We show that invariant metrics on $M_{ell,m,n}$ are not diagonal and beyond certain exceptions their parametrization depends on six real parameters. By using such an invariant Riemannian metric, we compute the diagonal and the non-diagonal part of the Ricci tensor and present explicitly the algebraic system of the homogeneous Einstein equation. For general positive integers $ell,m,n$, by applying mapping degree theory we provide the existence of at least one $mathsfSU(ell+m+n)$-invariant Einstein metric on $M_{ell,m,n}$. For $ell=m$ we show the existence of two $mathsfSU(2m+n)$ invariant Einstein metrics on $M_{m,m,n}$, and for $ell=m=n$ we obtain four $mathsfSU(3n)$-invariant Einstein metrics on $M_{n,n,n}$. We also examine the isometry problem for these metrics, while for a plethora of cases induced by fixed $ell,m,n$, we provide the numerical form of all non-isometric invariant Einstein metrics.

Review text

The authors study and partially classify invariant Einstein metrics of indecomposable non-Kähler C-spaces, i.e., even-dimensional torus bundles \(M = G/H\) with rank \(G >\) rank \(H\) over flag manifolds \(F = G/K \) of a compact simple Lie group \(G\). They give a description of such C-spaces in terms of painted Dynkin diagrams. The special family \[ M_{\ell,m,n} := \operatorname{SU}( \ell+ m + n)/\operatorname{SU}(\ell) \times \operatorname{SU}(m) \times \operatorname{SU}(n) \] of C-spaces, which depends of three natural parameters \(\ell, m, n\) is studied in more details. The authors describe some properties of these manifolds and show that the decomposition of the isotropic module into a sum of irreducible submodules has multiplicity. Due to this the invariant metrics on \(M_{\ell,m,n}\) are not diagonal in general and generically depend on 6 parameters. The Ricci tensor of any invariant Riemannian metric is calculated. It allows to write down the explicit form of the Einstein equation for invariant metrics. Some results about the number of solutions of this Einstein equation are obtained. Using mapping degree theory, the authors prove the existence of at least one solution for general \(\ell, m, n\), of at least two solutions for the case \(\ell= m \) and at least four solutions for \(M_{n,n,n}\). The problem of isometry of the obtained Einstein metrics is also discussed.
