In this note we prove three rigidity results for Einstein manifolds with bounded covering geometry. (1) An almost flat manifold $(M,g)$ must be flat if it is Einstein, i.e. $\operatorname{Ric}_g=\lambda g$ for some real number $\lambda$.…

We construct a 2-parameter family of new triaxial $SU(2)$-invariant complete negative Einstein metrics on the complex line bundle $\mathcal{O}(-4)$ over $\mathbb{C}P^1$. The metrics are conformally compact and neither K\"ahler nor…

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold, and let $G$ be a compact simple Lie group with bi-invariant metric that is not $\operatorname{Sp}(n)$ for $n \geq 8$, $E_{8}$, $F_{4}$, or $G_{2}$. We show that the singular set of any stable…

This article presents a new and more elementary proof of the main Seiberg-Witten-based obstruction to the existence of Einstein metrics on smooth compact 4-manifolds. It also introduces a new smooth manifold invariant which conveniently…

We prove that the existence of a positively defined, invariant Einstein metric $m$ on a connected homogeneous space $G/H$ of a compact Lie group $G$ is the consequence of non-contractibility of some compact set $C=X_{G,H}^{\Sigma}$ (B\"ohm…

We prove the instability of conformally K\"ahler, compact or ALF Einstein 4-manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature which are not half conformally flat. This applies to all the known examples of gravitational instantons which are not…

We classify Einstein metrics on $\mathbb{R}^4$ invariant under a four-dimensional group of isometries including a principal action of the Heisenberg group. The metrics are either Ricci-flat or of negative Ricci curvature. We show that all…

In this paper, we consider half-flat $SU(3)$-structures and the subclasses of coupled and double structures. In the general case we show that the intrinsic torsion form $w_1^-$ is constant in each of the two subclasses. We then consider the…

Let (E, \varphi) be a flat Higgs bundle on a compact special affine manifold M equipped with an affine Gauduchon metric. We prove that (E, \varphi) is polystable if and only if it admits an affine Yang-Mills-Higgs metric.

The volumes, spectra and geodesics of a recently constructed infinite family of five-dimensional inhomogeneous Einstein metrics on the two $S^3$ bundles over $S^2$ are examined. The metrics are in general of cohomogeneity one but they…

As an alternative gravity model we consider an extended Einstein-Maxwell gravity containing a gauge invariance property. Extension is assumed to be addition of a directional coupling between spatial electromagnetic fields with the Ricci…

We construct explicit Einstein-Kahler metrics in all even dimensions D=2n+4 \ge 6, in terms of a $2n$-dimensional Einstein-Kahler base metric. These are cohomogeneity 2 metrics which have the new feature of including a NUT-type parameter,…

We prove that the bi-invariant Einstein metric on $SU_{2n+1}$ is isolated in the moduli space of Einstein metrics, even though it admits infinitesimal deformations. This gives a non-K\"ahler, non-product example of this phenomenon adding to…

We analyze the stability of the Einstein static universe by considering homogeneous perturbations in the context of f(G) modified Gauss-Bonnet theories of gravity. By considering a generic form of f(G), the stability region of the Einstein…

We present a complete classification of Einstein metrics on the space M = I \times S^3, where I is the interval (0,l) or (0,\infty) or their closures, and we consider separate metric functions f and h (functions of I) for the base and fiber…

We study the linearization stability of the Einstein constraint equations on an asymptotically hyperbolic manifold. In particular we prove that these equations are linearization stable in the neighborhood of vacuum solutions for a…

We study the Einstein equations coupled with the scalar field equations, $\hbox{Ein}(g)=T$, $T=T(g,\phi)+F^1$, and $\square_g\phi^\ell-m^2\phi^\ell= F^2$, where the sources $F=(F^1, F^2)$ correspond to perturbations of the physical fields…

We prove the instability of some families of Riemannian manifolds with non-trivial real Killing spinors. These include the invariant Einstein metrics on the Aloff-Wallach spaces $N_{k, l}={\rm SU}(3)/i_{k, l}(S^{1})$ (which are all nearly…

Let $G/H$ be a connected, simply connected homogeneous space of a compact Lie group $G$. We study $G$-invariant quasi-Einstein metrics on the cohomogeneity one manifold $G/H\times (0,1)$ imposing the so-called monotypic condition on $G/H$.…

We develop a theory of stable bundles and affine Hermitian-Einstein metrics for flat vector bundles over a special affine manifold (a manifold admitting an atlas whose gluing maps are all locally constant volume-preserving affine maps). Our…
