Findings

Reduction method simplifies classification process

Verification of the conjecture for numerous homogeneous spaces

Progress towards resolving the Alekseevskii Conjecture

Abstract

We provide a reduction in the classification problem for non-compact, homogeneous, Einstein manifolds. Using this work, we verify the (Generalized) Alekseevskii Conjecture for a large class of homogeneous spaces.
