Abstract

The aim of this paper is to construct infinitely many families of Einstein metrics on the connected sums of arbitrary number of copies of S2×S3S^2\times S^3. We realize these 5-manifolds as total spaces of Seifert bundles over Del Pezzo orbifolds. A K\"ahler--Einstein metric on the Del Pezzo orbifold is then lifted to an Einstein metric using the Kobayashi--Boyer--Galicki method.
