We study locally conformal calibrated $G_2$-structures whose underlying Riemannian metric is Einstein, showing that in the compact case the scalar curvature cannot be positive. As a consequence, a compact homogeneous $7$-manifold cannot…

A construction of Kaehler-Einstein metrics using Galois coverings, studied by Arezzo-Ghigi-Pirola, is generalized to orbifolds. By applying it to certain orbifold covers of P^n which are trivial set theoretically, one obtains new Einstein…

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…

We study invariant Einstein metrics on the Stiefel manifold $V_k\mathbb{R}^n\cong \mathrm{SO}(n)/\mathrm{SO}(n-k)$ of all orthonormal $k$-frames in $\mathbb{R}^n$. The isotropy representation of this homogeneous space contains equivalent…

We give an overview of progress on homogeneous Einstein metrics on large classes of homogeneous manifolds, such as generalized flag manifolds and Stiefel manifolds. The main difference between these two classes of homogeneous spaces is that…

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…

A classical theorem in conformal geometry states that on a manifold with non-positive Yamabe invariant, a smooth metric achieving the invariant must be Einstein. In this work, we extend it to the singular case and show that in all…

We develop a notion of Einstein manifolds with skew torsion on compact, orientable Riemannian manifolds of dimension four. We prove an analogue of the Hitchin-Thorpe inequality and study the case of equality. We use the link with…

We study the $G_2$ analogue of the Goldberg conjecture on non-compact solvmanifolds. In contrast to the almost-K\"ahler case we prove that a 7-dimensional solvmanifold cannot admit any left-invariant calibrated $G_2$-structure $\varphi$…

We study 4-dimensional Poincar\'e-Einstein manifolds whose conformal class contains a K\"ahler metric. Such Einstein metrics are non-K\"ahler and admit a Killing field extending to the conformal infinity, and the Einstein equation reduces…

Motivated by the work of Li and Mantoulidis, we study singular metrics which are uniformly Euclidean $(L^\infty)$ on a compact manifold $M^n$ ($n\ge 3$) with negative Yamabe invariant $\sigma(M)$. It is well-known that if $g$ is a smooth…

One says that a Riemannian four-manifold is \emph{weakly Einstein} if the three-index contraction of its curvature tensor against itself equals a function times the metric. Since this includes all four-manifolds that are Einstein, or…
