Abstract: The space of G-invariant metrics on a homogeneous space G/H is in one-to-one correspondence with the set of inner products on the tangent space frmcongTito(G/H), which are invariant under the isotropy representation. When all the isotropy summands are inequivalent to each other, then the metric is called diagonal. We will describe a special class of G-invariant metrics %with additional symmetries. in the case where the isotropy representation of G/H contains some equivalent isotropy summands. Even though this problem has been considered sporadically in the bibliography, in the present article we provide a more systematic and organized description of such metrics. This will enable us to simplify the problem of finding G-invariant Einstein metrics for homogeneous spaces. We also provide some applications.
