Abstract

For a compact homogeneous space G / K, we study the problem of existence of G-invariant Riemannian metrics such that each eigenspace of the Laplacian is a real irreducible representation of G. We prove that the normal metric of a compact irreducible symmetric space has this property only in rank one. Furthermore, we provide existence results for such metrics on certain isotropy reducible spaces.
