We study Einstein riemannian manifolds endowed with a warped product structure. We focus on the case in which both the base and the fiber are Einstein manifolds and establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the warped product itself…
We construct Einstein metrics of non-positive scalar curvature on certain solid torus bundles over a Fano Kahler-Einstein manifold. We show, among other things, that the negative Einstein metrics are conformally compact, and the Ricci-flat…
Generalized $(\kappa ,\mu )$ structures occur in dimension 3 only. In this dimension 3, only K-contact structures can occur as generalized Eta-Einstein. On closed manifolds, Eta-Einstein, K-contact structures which are not D-homothetic to…
In this paper we construct Einstein spaces with negative Ricci curvature in various dimensions. These spaces -- which can be thought of as generalised AdS spacetimes -- can be classified in terms of the geometry of the horospheres in…
This essay is about how to construct a new Einstein metric by an old one. Given an Einstein metric $\alpha$ and its Killing $1$-form $\beta$, donote $b:=\|\beta\|_{\alpha}$, we aim to determined the deformation factors $e^{\rho(b^2)}$ and…
We prove that many features of Thurston's Dehn surgery theory for hyperbolic 3-manifolds generalize to Einstein metrics in any dimension. In particular, this gives large, infinite families of new Einstein metrics on compact manifolds.
This paper considers the existence of conformally compact Einstein metrics on 4-manifolds. A reasonably complete understanding is obtained for the existence of such metrics with prescribed conformal infinity, when the conformal infinity is…
We study the problem of construction of explicit isometric embeddings of (pseudo)-Riemannian manifolds. We discuss the method which is based in the idea that the exterior symmetry of the embedded surface and the interior symmetry of the…
A generalized flag manifold is a homogeneous space of the form $G/K$, where $K$ is the centralizer of a torus in a compact connected semisimple Lie group $G$. We classify all flag manifolds with four isotropy summands and we study their…
In this note, we construct new solutions to the heterotic $\mathrm{G}_2$-system with non-abelian gauge group, both compact and non-compact, on certain $2$-step nilmanifolds and $3$-Sasakian manifolds. Our approach is based on an ansatz that…
Given an exceptional compact simple Lie group $G$ we describe new left-invariant Einstein metrics which are not naturally reductive. In particular, we consider fibrations of $G$ over flag manifolds with a certain kind of isotropy…
In this paper, we construct Poincar\'e-Einstein 4-manifolds with various kinds of cusps. In particular, we construct: (1) Infinite families of Einstein metrics on $(0,\infty)\times \mathscr{N}$, where $\mathscr{N}\to T^2$ is a principal…
We prove that the number of complex invariant Einstein metrics on the flag manifold $M_{n_1,n_2,n_3}=SO_{2(n_1+n_2+n_3)+1}/U_{n_1} \times U_{n_2} \times SO_{2n_3+1}$ is equal to 132, except when the parameters $n_1, n_2, n_3$ satisfy one of…
We study homogeneous Einstein metrics on indecomposable non-K\"ahlerian C-spaces, i.e. even-dimensional torus bundles $M=G/H$ with $\mathsf{rank} G>\mathsf{rank} H$ over flag manifolds $F=G/K$ of a compact simple Lie group $G$. Based on the…
We obtain infinite classes of new Einstein-Sasaki metrics on complete and non-singular manifolds. They arise, after Euclideanisation, from BPS limits of the rotating Kerr-de Sitter black hole metrics. The new Einstein-Sasaki spaces…
Reflection in a line in Euclidean 3-space defines an almost paracomplex structure on the space of all oriented lines, isometric with respect to the canonical neutral Kaehler metric. Beyond Euclidean 3-space, the space of oriented geodesics…
Let $G/H$ be a compact homogeneous space, and let $\hat{g}_0$ and $\hat{g}_1$ be $G$-invariant Riemannian metrics on $G/H$. We consider the problem of finding a $G$-invariant Einstein metric $g$ on the manifold $G/H\times [0,1]$ subject to…
A new infinite series of Einstein metrics is constructed explicitly on S^2 x S^3, and the non-trivial S^3-bundle over S^2, containing infinite numbers of inhomogeneous ones. They appear as a certain limit of a nearly extreme 5-dimensional…
We define and study natural $\mathrm{SU}(2)$-structures, in the sense of Conti-Salamon, on the total space $\cal S$ of the tangent sphere bundle of any given oriented Riemannian 3-manifold $M$. We recur to a fundamental exterior…
We obtain new invariant Einstein metrics on the compact Lie groups $\SO(n)$ which are not naturally reductive. This is achieved by using the real flag manifolds $\SO(k_1+\cdots +k_p)/\SO(k_1)\times\cdots\times\SO(k_p)$ and by imposing…
