Abstract: We obtain new invariant Einstein metrics on the compact Lie groups SO(n) (ngeq7) which are not naturally reductive. This is achieved by imposing certain symmetry assumptions in the set of all left-invariant metrics on SO(n) and by computing the Ricci tensor for such metrics. The Einstein metrics are obtained as solutions of systems polynomial equations, which we manipulate by symbolic computations using Gr"obner bases.


This paper presents a well-organized and detailed study of left-invariant Einstein metrics on the compact Lie group \(\mathrm{SO}(n)\). The authors impose certain symmetry assumptions in the set of all left-invariant metrics on \(\mathrm{SO}(n)\) and compute the Ricci tensor for those metrics. They apply an interesting approach to obtain new Einstein metrics which are not naturally reductive -- as solutions of systems of polynomial equations manipulated by symbolic computations using Gröbner bases.
