Abstract:
We classify homogeneous Einstein metrics on compact irreducible symmetric spaces. In particular, we consider symmetric spaces with rank , not isometric to a compact Lie group. Whenever there exists a closed proper subgroup  of Isom acting transitively on  we find all  -homogeneous (non-symmetric) Einstein metrics on  .
