A characterization of complex space forms via Laplace operators

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Inspired by the work of Z. Lu and G. Tian cite{lutian}, in this paper we address the problem of studying those K manifolds satisfying the Delta-property, i.e. such that on a neighborhood of each of its points the k-th power of the K Laplacian is a polynomial function of the complex Euclidean Laplacian, for all positive integer k (see below for its definition). We prove two results: 1. if a K manifold satisfies the Delta-property then its curvature tensor is parallel; 2. if an Hermitian symmetric space of classical type satisfies the Delta-property then it is a complex space form (namely it has constant holomorphic sectional curvature). In view of these results we believe that if a complete and simply-connected K manifold satisfies the Delta-property then it is a complex space form.
