Introduction. The present paper is concerned with the conformal geometry of Hermitian spaces. In the first part we find a necessary and sufficient condition for a Hermitian space to be conformally Kähler, that is, conformal to some Kähler space. The condition is that a certain conformal tensor, , vanishes identically. Then, defining a Hermitian manifold as in Hodge (3), we consider such a manifold where the restriction is made that at every point the tensor is zero. This will be called a conformally Kähler manifold, and conditions under which it may be given a Kähler metric are obtained. It is found that any conformally Kähler manifold may be given a Kähler metric provided it is simply-connected or that its fundamental group is of finite order.

Let (M,g,Q) be a simply connected, complete, quaternionic Kähler manifold without flat de Rham factor. Then any 1-parameter group of transformations of M which preserve the quaternionic structure Q preserves also the metric g. Moreover, if (M,g) is irreducible then the quaternionic Kähler metric g on (M,Q) is unique up to a homothety.

It is shown that D=4N=1 SUSY Yang-Mills theory with an appropriate supermultiplet of matter can be twisted on a compact Kähler manifold. The conditions for cancellation of anomalies of BRST charge are found. The twisted theory has an appropriate BRST charge. We find a nontrivial set of physical operators defined as classes of the cohomology of this BRST operator. We prove that the physical correlators are independent of the external Kähler metric up to a power of a ratio of two Ray-Singer torsions for the Dolbeault cohomology complex on a Kähler manifold. The correlators of local physical operators turn out to be independent of antiholomorphic coordinates defined with a complex structure on the Kähler manifold. However, a dependence of the correlators on holomorphic coordinates can still remain. For a hyper-Kähler metric the physical correlators turn out to be independent of all coordinates of insertions of local physical operators.

Let M be a compact Kähler manifold endowed with a real analytic and polarized Kähler metric g and let Tmω(x) be the corresponding Kempf's distortion function. In this paper we compute the coefficients of Tian–Yau–Zelditch asymptotic expansion of Tmω(x) using quantization techniques alternative to Lu's computations in [10].

We prove the existence of a (unique) S1-invariant Ricci-flat Kähler metric on a neighbourhood of the zero section in the canonical bundle of a real-analytic Kähler manifold X, extending the metric on X.

AbstractLet (X, P) be a toric variety. In this note, we show that the C0-norm of the Calabi flow φ(t) on X is uniformly bounded in [0, T) if the Sobolev constant of φ(t) is uniformly bounded in [0, T). We also show that if (X, P) is uniform K-stable, then the modified Calabi flow converges exponentially fast to an extremal Kähler metric if the Ricci curvature and the Sobolev constant are uniformly bounded. At last, we discuss an extension of our results to a quasi-proper Kähler manifold.

Suppose Ω is a simply connected domain which is mapped conformally onto a disk. A much studied problem is the behavior of the mapping function at an accessible boundary point P of Ω, in particular the question, under what conditions the map is ‘ “conformai” at such a point (a) in the sense that angles are preserved as P is approached from Ω (“semi-conformality” at P) and (b) the dilatation at P is finite and positive. In his fundamental paper [8] in 1936, A. Ostrowski established a necessary and sufficient condition (depending on the geometry of the domain only) for the validity of the first property which subsumes all previous results and establishes a definitive solution of this problem.

In 1967 Gindikin and Vinberg stated the Fundamental Conjecture for homogeneous Kähler manifolds. It (roughly) states that every homogeneous Kähler manifold is a fiber space over a bounded homogeneous domain for which the fibers are a product of a flat with a simply connected compact homogeneous Kähler manifold. This conjecture has been proven in a number of cases (see [6] for a recent survey). In particular, it holds if the homogeneous Kähler manifold admits a reductive or an arbitrary solvable transitive group of automorphisms [5]. It is thus tempting to think about the general case. It is natural to expect that lack of knowledge about the radical of a transitive group G of automorphisms of a homogeneous Kähler manifold M is the main obstruction to a proof of the Fundamental Conjecture for M. Thus it is of importance to consider the Kähler algebra generated by the radical of the Lie algebra of G. Computations in this context suggest that one rather considers Kähler algebras generated by an arbitrary solvable ideal.

1. Introduction and statement of theorem. 1. In [1] Ambrose and Singer gave a necessary and sufficient condition (Theorem 3 here) for a simply connected complete Riemannian manifold to admit a transitive group of motions. Here we shall give a simple proof of a more general theorem — Theorem 1 (the proof of Theorem 1 became suggestive to us after we noted that the Tx of [1] is just the ax of [6] when X is restricted to p0, see [6], p. 539).

This chapter describes the 8-dimensional Wolf spaces as cohomogeneity one SU(3)-manifolds, and discover perturbations of the quaternion-kähler metric on the simply connected 8-manifold G2/SO(4) that carry a closed fundamental 4-form but are not Einstein.

The main purpose of this note is to characterize a compact Káhler-Einstein manifold in terms of curvature form. The curvature form Q is an EndT valued differential form of type (1,1) which represents the curvature class of the manifold. We shall prove that the curvature form of a Káhler metric is the harmonic representative of the curvature class if and only if the Káhler metric is an Einstein metric in the generalized sense (g.s.), that is, if the Ricci form of the metric is parallel. It is well known that a Káhler metric is an Einstein metric in the g. s. if and only if it is locally product (globally, if the manifold is simply connected and complete) of Kàhler-Einstein metrics. We obtain an integral formula, involving the integral of the trace of some operators defined by the curvature tensor, which measures the deviation of a Káhler-Einstein metric from a Hermitian symmetric metric. In the final section we shall prove the uniqueness up to equivalence of Kãhler-Einstein metrics in a simply connected compact complex homogeneous space. This result was proved by Berger in the case of a complex projective space and our proof is completely different from Berger’s.
