Abstract

It is well-known that every 6-dimensional strictly nearly K\"{a}hler manifold (M,g,J)(M,g,J) is Einstein with positive scalar curvature scal>0scal>0. Moreover, one can show that the space EE of co-closed primitive (1,1)-forms on MM is stable under the Laplace operator Δ\Delta. Let E(a)E(a) denote the aa-eigenspace of the restriction of Δ\Delta to EE. If MM is compact, we prove that the moduli space of infinitesimal Einstein deformations of the nearly K\"{a}hler metric gg is naturally isomorphic to the direct sum E(scal/15)E(scal/5)E(2scal/5)E(scal/15)\oplus E(scal/5)\oplus E(2scal/5). It is known that the last summand is itself isomorphic with the moduli space of infinitesimal nearly K\"{a}hler deformations.
