Abstract The prescribed Ricci curvature problem in the context of G-invariant metrics on a homogeneous space M = G / K {M=G/K} is studied. We focus on the metrics at which the map g ↦ Rc ⁡ ( g ) {g\mapsto\operatorname{Rc}(g)} is, locally, as injective and surjective as it can be. Our main result is that such property is generic in the compact case. Our main tool is a formula for the Lichnerowicz Laplacian we prove in terms of the moment map for the variety of algebras.
