Abstract

We find the precise number of non-K\"ahler $SO(2n)$-invariant Einstein metrics on the generalized flag manifold $M=SO(2n)/U(p)\times U(n-p)$ with $n\geq 4$ and $2\leq p\leq n-2$. We use an analysis on parametric systems of polynomial equations and we give some insight towards the study of such systems. We also examine the isometric problem for these Einstein metrics.
