Abstract

We consider the homogeneous space M=H×H/ΔKM=H\times H/\Delta K, where H/KH/K is an irreducible symmetric space and ΔK\Delta K denotes diagonal embedding. Recently, Lauret and Will provided a complete classification of H×HH\times H-invariant Einstein metrics on M. They obtained that there is always at least one non-diagonal Einstein metric on MM, and in some cases, diagonal Einstein metrics also exist. We give a formula for the scalar curvature of a subset of H×HH\times H-invariant metrics and study the stability of non-diagonal Einstein metrics on MM with respect to the Hilbert action, obtaining that these metrics are unstable with different coindexes for all homogeneous spaces MM.
