The natural metric in the Horrocks-Mumford bundle is not Hermitian-Einstein
The Horrocks-Mumford bundle $E$ is a famous stable complex vector bundle of rank 2 on 4-dimensional complex projective space. By construction, $E$ has a natural Hermitian metric $h_1$. On the other hand, stability implies the existence of a Hermitian-Einstein metric in $E$ which is unique up to a positive scalar. Now the obvious question is if $h_1$ is in fact the Hermitian-Einstein metric. In this note we indicate how to show by computation that this is not the case.
