Abstract

We consider a homogeneous fibration G/LG/KG/L \to G/K, with symmetric fiber and base, where GG is a compact connected semisimple Lie group and LL has maximal rank in GG. We suppose the base space G/KG/K is isotropy irreducible and the fiber K/LK/L is simply connected. We investigate the existence of GG-invariant Einstein metrics on G/LG/L such that the natural projection onto G/KG/K is a Riemannian submersion with totally geodesic fibers. These spaces are divided in two types: the fiber K/LK/L is isotropy irreducible or is the product of two irreducible symmetric spaces. We classify all the GG-invariant Einstein metrics with totally geodesic fibers for the first type. For the second type, we classify all these metrics when GG is an exceptional Lie group. If GG is a classical Lie group we classify all such metrics which are the orthogonal sum of the normal metrics on the fiber and on the base or such that the restriction to the fiber is also Einstein.
