On the stability of homogeneous Einstein manifolds

Abstract

Let g be a G-invariant Einstein metric on a compact homogeneous space M=G/K. We use a formula for the Lichnerowicz Laplacian of g at G-invariant TT-tensors to study the stability type of g as a critical point of the scalar curvature function. The case when g is naturally reductive is studied in special detail.
