| Description | The question whether two Riemannian metrics on a certain manifold are isometric is a fundamental and also a challenging problem in differential geometry. In this paper we ask whether two non-Kähler homogeneous Einstein metrics on a certain flag manifold are isometric. We tackle this question by reformulating it into a related question on a parametric system of polynomial equations and answering it by carefully combining Gröbner bases and geometrical arguments. Using this technique, we are able to prove the isometry of such metrics. |
