On non-singular hyperplane sections of some Hermitian symmetric spaces (Q1058745)

Let \(j: M\to P^ N({\mathbb{C}})\) be the canonical equivariant imbedding of an irreducible Hermitian symmetric space M of compact type in a complex projective space of dimension N. Let V be a nonsingular hyperplane section of M in \(P^ N({\mathbb{C}})\) and Aut(V) the group of all holomorphic automorphisms of V. In this paper the author determines the structure of the Lie algebra of Aut(V) when M is a complex Grassmann manifold \(G_{m,2}({\mathbb{C}})\) of 2-planes in \(C^ m\) and when M is SO(10)/U(5). The case when M is the product space \(P^ m({\mathbb{C}})\times P^ n({\mathbb{C}})\) was considered by \textit{J. Hano} [Osaka J. Math. 20, 787-791 (1983; Zbl 0541.53049)]. Additionally the author proves the following theorems: 1) For the case \(M=G_{m,2}({\mathbb{C}})\), \(m\geq 4\), a nonsingular hyperplane section V does not admit any Kähler metric with constant scalar curvature for odd m and V is a Kählerian C-space for even m. 2) For the case \(M=SO(10)/U(5)\), V does not admit any Kähler metric with constant scalar curvature.
