Three-step Harmonic Solvmanifolds

چکیده
The Lichnerowicz conjecture asserted that every harmonic Riemannian manifold is locally isometric to a two-point homogeneous space. In 1992, E. Damek and F. Ricci produced a family of counter-examples to this conjecture, which arise as abelian extensions of two-step nilpotent groups of type-H. In this paper we consider a broader class of Riemannian manifolds: solvmanifolds of Iwasawa type with algebraic rank one and two-step nilradical. Our main result shows that the Damek-Ricci spaces are the only harmonic manifolds of this type.

Noncompact homogeneous Einstein manifolds attached to graded Lie algebras
In this paper, we study the nilradicals of parabolic subalgebras of semisimple Lie algebras and the natural one-dimensional solvable extensions of them. We investigate the structures, curvatures and Einstein conditions of the associated nilmanifolds and solvmanifolds. We show that our solvmanifold is Einstein if the nilradical is of two-step. New examples of Einstein solvmanifolds with three-st...
متن کاملParabolic Subgroups of Semisimple Lie Groups and Einstein Solvmanifolds
In this paper, we study the solvmanifolds constructed from any parabolic subalgebras of any semisimple Lie algebras. These solvmanifolds are naturally homogeneous submanifolds of symmetric spaces of noncompact type. We show that the Ricci curvatures of our solvmanifolds coincide with the restrictions of the Ricci curvatures of the ambient symmetric spaces. Consequently, all of our solvmanifolds...
متن کاملNew examples of non-symmetric Einstein solvmanifolds of negative Ricci curvature
We obtain new examples of non-symmetric Einstein solvmanifolds by combining two techniques. In Tamaru (Parabolic subgroups of semisimple Lie groups and einstein solvmanifolds. Math Ann 351(1):51–66, 2011) constructs new attached solvmanifolds, which are submanifolds of the solvmanifolds correspond to noncompact symmetric spaces, endowed with a natural metric. Extending this construction, we app...
متن کاملSmall deformations and non-left-invariant complex structures on a compact solvmanifold
we observed in our previous paper that all the complex structures on four-dimensional compact solvmanifolds are left-invariant. The main purpose of this note is to give an example of a six-dimensional compact solvmanifold which admits a continuous family of non-leftinvariant complex structures. We also determine all three-dimensional compact complex-homogeneous pseudo-Kähler solvmanifolds.
متن کاملEinstein Solvmanifolds and the Pre-einstein Derivation
An Einstein nilradical is a nilpotent Lie algebra, which can be the nilradical of a metric Einstein solvable Lie algebra. The classification of Riemannian Einstein solvmanifolds (possibly, of all noncompact homogeneous Einstein spaces) can be reduced to determining, which nilpotent Lie algebras are Einstein nilradicals and to finding, for every Einstein nilradical, its Einstein metric solvable ...
