Abstract

We consider invariant Einstein metrics on the quaternionic Stiefel manifolds VpHnV_p\mathbb{H} ^n of all orthonormal pp-frames in Hn\mathbb{H}^n. This manifold is diffeomorphic to the homogeneous space Sp(n)/Sp(np)\mathrm{Sp}(n) / \mathrm{Sp}(n-p) and its isotropy representation contains equivalent summands. We obtain new Einstein metrics on VpHnSp(n)/Sp(np)V_p\mathbb{H}^n \cong \mathrm{Sp}(n)/\mathrm{Sp}(n-p), where n=k1+k2+k3n = k_1 + k_2 + k_3 and p=nk3p = n-k_3. We view VpHnV_p\mathbb{H}^n as a total space over the generalized Wallach space Sp(n)/(Sp(k1)×Sp(k2)×Sp(k3))\mathrm{Sp}(n) / (\mathrm{Sp}(k_1) \times \mathrm{Sp}(k_2) \times \mathrm{Sp}(k_3)) and over the generalized flag manifold Sp(n)/(U(p)×Sp(np))\mathrm{Sp}(n) / (\mathrm{U}(p) \times \mathrm{Sp}(n-p)).
