Abstract

In this paper we show that for an Sp(k+1)\text{Sp}(k+1) invariant metric g^\hat{g} on S4k+3\mathbb{S}^{4k+3} (k1)(k\geq 1) close to the round metric, the conformally compact Einstein (CCE) manifold (M,g)(M, g) with (S4k+3,[g^])(\mathbb{S}^{4k+3}, [\hat{g}]) as its conformal infinity is unique up to isometries. Moreover, by the result in [LiQingShi], gg is the Graham-Lee metric on the unit ball B1R4k+4B_1\subset \mathbb{R}^{4k+4}. We also give an a priori estimate on the Einstein metric gg. Based on the estimate and Graham-Lee and Lee's seminal perturbation result, we use the continuity method directly to obtain an existence result of the non-positively curved CCE metric with prescribed conformal infinity (S4k+3,[g^])(\mathbb{S}^{4k+3}, [\hat{g}]) when the metric g^\hat{g} is Sp(k+1)\text{Sp}(k+1)-invariant. We also generalize the results to the case of conformal infinity (S15,[g^])(\mathbb{S}^{15},[\hat{g}]) with g^\hat{g} a Spin(9)(9)-invariant metric in the appendix.
