Kähler-Einstein metrics singular along a smooth divisor

Raffe Mazzeo (1999)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

Similarity:

In this note we discuss some recent and ongoing joint work with Thalia Jeffres concerning the existence of Kähler-Einstein metrics on compact Kähler manifolds which have a prescribed incomplete singularity along a smooth divisor D . We shall begin with a general discussion of the problem, and give a rough outline of the “classical” proof of existence in the smooth case, due to Yau and Aubin, where no singularities are prescribed. Following this is a discussion of the geometry of the conical...

Homogeneous Einstein metrics on Stiefel manifolds

Andreas Arvanitoyeorgos (1996)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

A Stiefel manifold V k 𝐑 n is the set of orthonormal k -frames in 𝐑 n , and it is diffeomorphic to the homogeneous space S O ( n ) / S O ( n - k ) . We study S O ( n ) -invariant Einstein metrics on this space. We determine when the standard metric on S O ( n ) / S O ( n - k ) is Einstein, and we give an explicit solution to the Einstein equation for the space V 2 𝐑 n .
