Abstract: We study the natural functional F=scal^2/|Ric|^2 on the space of all non-flat left-invariant metrics on all solvable Lie groups of a given dimension n. As an application of properties of the beta operator, we obtain that solvsolitons are the only global maxima of F restricted to the set of all left-invariant metrics on a given unimodular solvable Lie group, and beyond the unimodular case, we obtain the same result for almost-abelian Lie groups. Many other aspects of the behavior of F are clarified.
