Invariant Einstein metrics on basic classical Lie supergroups

This paper presents a systematic study of invariant Einstein metrics on basic classical Lie supergroups, whose Lie superalgebras belong to the Kac's classification of finite dimensional classical simple Lie superalgebras over R. We consider a natural family of left invariant metrics parameterized by scaling factors on the simple and Abelian components of the reductive even part, using the canonical bi-invariant bilinear form. Explicit expressions for the Levi-Civita connection and Ricci tensor are derived, and the Einstein condition is reduced to a solvable algebraic system. Our main result shows that, except for the cases of A(m,n) with m≠ n, F(4), and their real forms, every real basic classical Lie superalgebra admits at least two distinct Einstein metrics. Notably, for D(n+1,n) and D(2,1;α), we obtain both Ricci flat and non Ricci flat Einstein metrics, a phenomenon not observed in the non-super setting.
