The existence of soliton metrics for nilpotent Lie groups
From MaRDI portal
Publication:964191
Abstract: We show that a left-invariant metric g on a nilpotent Lie group N is a soliton metric if and only if a matrix U and vector v associated the manifold (N,g) satisfy the matrix equation Uv = [1], where [1] is a vector with every entry a one. We associate a generalized Cartan matrix to the matrix U and use the theory of Kac-Moody algebras to analyze the solution spaces for such linear systems. We use these methods to find infinitely many new examples of nilmanifolds with soliton metrics. We give a sufficient condition for a sum of soliton metric nilpotent Lie algebra structures to be soliton, and we use this criterion to show that soliton metrics exist on every naturally graded filiform metric Lie algebra.
The primary aim of this work is to investigate nilsoliton metrics using algebraic and combinatorial methods. Each nonabelian metric algebra \((\mathfrak n_{\mu},Q)\) is associated to a vector \([\alpha^2]\) listing the squares of the non trivial structure constants. It is shown that the nil Ricci endomorphism satisfies the nilsoliton condition if and only if the vector \([\alpha^2]\) is a solution to the matrix equation \(U v=[1]\) being \([1]\) a vector with every entry a one. A generalized Cartan matrix \(A\) is defined in terms of \(U\). So the authors characterizes the solution spaces of \((cA+d[1])v=-2\beta [1]\), \(c,d\) positive, by the properties of \(A\). Several examples of nilsoliton metrics are presented, and also a metric nilpotent Lie algebra admitting a semisimple derivation with rational eigenvalues but no nilsoliton metric.
