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...
