Stability of the Non-Symmetric Space $E_7/\mathrm{PSO}(8)$

Differential Geometry 2023-08-08 v3

Abstract

We prove that the normal metric on the homogeneous space E7/PSO(8)E_7/\mathrm{PSO}(8) is stable with respect to the Einstein-Hilbert action, thereby exhibiting the first known example of a non-symmetric metric of positive scalar curvature with this property.
