    Let \(X\) be a \(n\)-dimensional complex compact Kähler manifold (with \(n\geqslant 2\)) and let \(\text{Aut}(X)\) be the group of holomorphic automorphisms of \(X\). Then, any subgroup \(G\) of \(\text{Aut}(X)\) satisfies the Tits alternative, i.e. either \(G\) contains a subgroup isomorphic to the non-abelian free group \(\mathbb{Z} * \mathbb{Z}\) or \(G\) is virtually solvable [\textit{F. Campana} et al., Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 366, No. 3, 1621--1638 (2014; Zbl 1309.32003)]. In the latter case, or more generally when the representation of \(G\) on \(H^{2}(X,\mathbb{C})\) is virtually solvable, \(G\) contains a finite-index subgroup \(G_{1}\) whose null-entropy subset \(N(G_{1})\) is a normal subgroup of \(G_{1}\) and \(G_{1}/N(G_{1})\) is a free abelian group of rank \(r\leqslant n-1\). This integer \(r\) is called the \textit{dynamical rank} of \(G\). In this article, the authors study the case when the dynamical rank is maximal. The main result is the following: Theorem. Let \(X\) be a complex compact Kähler manifold of dimension \(n\geqslant 2\) and \(G\) a subgroup of \(\text{Aut}(X)\) such that \(N(G)\) is a normal subgroup of \(G\) and \(G/N(G)\simeq \mathbb{Z}^{\oplus n-1}\). Then \(X\) is either a complex torus, or \(N(G)\) is a finite group and \(G\) is virtually a free abelian group of rank \(n-1\). The authors then apply the main result to the case of a projective manifold of dimension \(n \geqslant 3\) that is not rationally connected. First, they generalize a theorem of [\textit{A. Fujiki}, Invent. Math. 44, 225--258 (1978; Zbl 0367.32004)] -- [\textit{D. I. Lieberman}, Lect. Notes Math. 670, 140--186 (1978; Zbl 0391.32018)] which is needed for the proof of the main theorem. They also introduce the notion of \textit{privileged vector space} in \(H^{2}(X,\mathbb{R})\), which allows them to construct common eigenvectors of maximal eigenvalues.
