We study the relation between two special classes of Riemannian Lie groups $G$ with a left-invariant metric $g$: The Einstein Lie groups, defined by the condition $\operatorname{Ric}_g=cg$, and the geodesic orbit Lie groups, defined by the…

We construct the homogeneous Einstein equation for generalized flag manifolds $G/K$ of a compact simple Lie group $G$ whose isotropy representation decomposes into five inequivalent irreducible $\Ad(K)$-submodules. To this end we apply a…

The classification of compact homogeneous spaces of the form $M=G/K$, where $G$ is a non-simple Lie group, such that the standard metric is Einstein is still open. The only known examples are $4$ infinite families and $3$ isolated spaces…

Let $M=G/K$ be a generalized flag manifold, that is the adjoint orbit of a compact semisimple Lie group $G$. We use the variational approach to find invariant Einstein metrics for all flag manifolds with two isotropy summands. We also…

It is well known that every compact simple Lie group G admits an Einstein metric that is invariant under the independent left and right actions of G. In addition to this bi-invariant metric, with G x G symmetry, it was shown by D'Atri and…

We continue the systematic study of left-invariant generalised Einstein metrics on Lie groups initiated in arXiv:2206.01157. Our approach is based on a new reformulation of the corresponding algebraic system. For a fixed Lie algebra…

We answer in the affirmative the question posed by Conti and Rossi on the existence of nilpotent Lie algebras of dimension 7 with an Einstein pseudo-metric of nonzero scalar curvature. Indeed, we construct a left-invariant pseudo-Riemannian…

It is well known that every compact simple group manifold G admits a bi-invariant Einstein metric, invariant under G_L\times G_R. Less well known is that every compact simple group manifold except SO(3) and SU(2) admits at least one more…

The structure of a solvable Lie groups admitting an Einstein left-invariant metric is, in a sense, completely determined by the nilradical of its Lie algebra. We give an easy-to-check necessary and sufficient condition for a nilpotent…

All known examples of homogeneous Einstein metrics of negative Ricci curvature can be realized as left-invariant Riemannian metrics on solvable Lie groups. After defining a notion of maximal symmetry among left-invariant Riemannian metrics…

A left invariant metric on a nilpotent Lie group is called minimal, if it minimizes the norm of the Ricci tensor among all left invariant metrics with the same scalar curvature. Such metrics are unique up to isometry and scaling and the…

In this paper, we mainly study left invariant pseudo-Riemannian Ricci-parallel metrics on connected Lie groups which are not Einstein. Following a result of Boubel and B\'{e}rard Bergery, there are two typical types of such metrics, which…
