On normal homogeneous Einstein manifolds. (English) Zbl 0598.53049

The main result of the paper is the classification of compact connected simple Lie groups G with closed connected subgroups H such that the Riemannian metric on G/H induced by the Killing form of G is Einstein, while G acts almost effectively on G/H, G/H is simply connected and not strongly isotropy irreducible. For many classes of homogeneous Einstein manifolds G/H contained in this classification, the authors also exhibit another, ”exotic” homogeneous Einstein metric on G/H.
