Ricci tensor of the Grassmannian manifold

110 Views Asked by At

I'm wondering if anyone could help me with calculating the Ricci tensor for the Grassmannian manifold. For Kähler manifolds we have: \begin{equation} R_{\mu \bar{\nu}} = -\partial_{\bar{\nu}} \partial_{\mu} \log \det g_{\mu\bar{\nu}} \end{equation}

For the Grassmannian, we are using the two-index notation \begin{equation} \Phi^{n\alpha} \quad,\qquad \text{where} \quad n=1\ldots N,\quad \alpha=1\ldots M \end{equation} And so, the Ricci tensor will have four indices, $R_{i\bar{j}\alpha\bar{\beta}}$.

The Kähler potential is given by: \begin{equation} K = \operatorname{Tr} \ln (\delta^{n\bar{m}} + \Phi^{n\gamma}\overline{\Phi}^{\bar{\gamma} \bar{m}}) \end{equation} Here we take the trace over the Latin indices, but we could also define $K = \operatorname{Tr} \ln (\delta^{\alpha\bar{\beta}} + \Phi^{n\alpha}\overline{\Phi}^{\bar{\beta}\bar{n}})$ and take the trace with respect to the Greek indices. The subscripts are reserved for lowering with the aid of the metric tensor. The latter is obtained as follows: \begin{gather} G_{i\bar{j} \alpha \bar{\beta}} = \dfrac{\partial}{\partial \Phi^{i\alpha}} \dfrac{\partial}{\partial \overline{\Phi}^{\bar{\beta}\bar{j}}} K = \operatorname{Tr} \left\{ \delta^{ni}\delta^{\alpha\bar{\beta}}(A^{-1})^{\bar{j} m} - \Phi^{n\beta} (A^{-1})^{\bar{j} i} \overline{\Phi}^{\bar{\alpha} \bar{l}} (A^{-1})^{\bar{l} m} \right\} \end{gather}

How should I proceed from here? I guess, the answer should be \begin{equation} R_{i\bar{j}\alpha\bar{\beta}} \propto (M+N)G_{i\bar{j}\alpha\bar{\beta}} \end{equation}
