Gromov Rigidity of Bi-Invariant Metrics on Lie Groups and Homogeneous Spaces

Gromov asked if the bi-invariant metrics on a compact Lie group are extremal compared to any other metrics. In this note, we prove that the bi-invariant metrics on a compact connected semi-simple Lie group are extremal (in fact, rigid) in the sense of Gromov when compared to the left-invariant metr...

description Gromov asked if the bi-invariant metrics on a compact Lie group are extremal compared to any other metrics. In this note, we prove that the bi-invariant metrics on a compact connected semi-simple Lie group are extremal (in fact, rigid) in the sense of Gromov when compared to the left-invariant metrics. In fact, the same result holds for a compact connected homogeneous manifold / with compact connect and semi-simple.

Gromov asked if the bi-invariant metrics on a compact Lie group are extremal compared to any other metrics. In this note, we prove that the bi-invariant metrics on a compact connected semi-simple Lie group are extremal (in fact, rigid) in the sense of Gromov when compared to the left-invariant metrics.

We are deeply grateful to Wolfgang Ziller for suggesting the more general result for the homogeneous space as well as bringing the work [15] to our attention, which considerably simplifies our previous computation as well as generalizes to the more general case of homogeneous spaces. We thank Wolfgang for many helpful discussions. Thanks are also due to Professor Yurii Nikonorov for similar remarks and useful comments. Finally, we thank the referee for the careful reading of the multiple versions of the paper and for many constructive suggestions, which have helped improve the exposition. This research is partially supported by NSFC (Y.S.) and the Simons Foundation (X.D.).
