Holonomy groups of complete flat manifolds

Michał Sadowski (2007)

Banach Center Publications

We present short direct proofs of two known properties of complete flat manifolds. They say that the diffeomorphism classes of m-dimensional complete flat manifolds form a finite set S C F ( m ) and that each element of S C F ( m ) is represented by a manifold with finite holonomy group.

Homogeneous Einstein metrics on Stiefel manifolds

Andreas Arvanitoyeorgos (1996)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

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 .
