This paper presents a systematic study of invariant Einstein metrics on basic classical Lie supergroups, whose Lie superalgebras belong to the Kac's classification of finite dimensional classical simple Lie superalgebras over $\mathbb{R}$.…

In this expository article we review the problem of finding Einstein metrics on compact K\"ahler manifolds and Sasaki manifolds. In the former half of this article we see that, in the K\"ahler case, the problem fits better with the notion…

The classification of the Einstein spaces with the Stackel metric of the (3.0) has been done. These spaces are invariant under the action of the three-parameter abelian group of motions and belong to the first type Bianchi spaces. Thus the…

Let $G$ be a simple compact connected Lie group. We study homogeneous Einstein metrics for a class of compact homogeneous spaces, namely generalized flag manifolds $G/H$ with second Betti number $b_{2}(G/H)=1$. There are 8 infinite families…

In this article, we prove that every compact simple Lie group $SO(n)$ for $n\geq 10$ admits at least $2\left([\frac{n-1}{3}]-2\right)$ non-naturally reductive left-invariant Einstein metrics.

We obtain explicitly all solutions of the SU(infinity) Toda field equation with the property that the associated Einstein-Weyl space admits a 2-sphere of divergence-free shear-free geodesic congruences. The solutions depend on an arbitrary…

Most known four-dimensional cohomogeneity-one Einstein metrics are diagonal in the basis defined by the left-invariant one-forms, though some essentially non-diagonal ones are known. We consider the problem of explicitly seeking…

In a recent article the first three authors proved that in dimension $4m+1$ all homotopy spheres that bound parallelizable manifolds admit Einstein metrics of positive scalar curvature which, in fact, are Sasakian-Einstein. They also…

We discuss smooth metric measure spaces admitting two weighted Einstein representatives of the same weighted conformal class. First, we describe the local geometries of such manifolds in terms of certain Einstein and quasi-Einstein warped…

The existence or non-existence of Einstein metrics on 4-manifolds with non-trivial fundamental group and the relation with the underlying differential structure are analyzed. For most points $(n,m)$ in a large region of the integer lattice,…
