Abstract

The fixed points of the generalized Ricci flow are the Bismut Ricci flat metrics, i.e., a generalized metric (g,H)(g,H) on a manifold MM, where gg is a Riemannian metric and HH a closed 33-form, such that HH is gg-harmonic and Rc(g)=14Hg2\operatorname{Rc}(g)=\tfrac{1}{4} H_g^2. Given two standard Einstein homogeneous spaces Gi/KG_i/K, where each GiG_i is a compact simple Lie group and KK is a closed subgroup of them holding some extra assumption, we consider M=G1×G2/ΔKM = G_1 \times G_2 / \Delta K. Recently, Lauret and Will proved the existence of a Bismut Ricci flat metric on any of these spaces. We proved that this metric is always asymptotically stable for the generalized Ricci flow on MM among a subset of GG-invariant metrics and, if G1=G2G_1 = G_2, then it is globally stable.
