Holomorphic vector fields on complex manifolds (Q1100593)

Let M be a complex compact manifold of dimension n. The author proves several results about nonsingular holomorphic vector fields on M. Of particular interest is Theorem B: If M is of type \(K_ 0\), and \(h^{0,1}+h^{1,0}=0,\) then M does not admit a nonsingular holomorphic vector field. As usual, \(h^{p,q}=\dim_{{\mathbb{C}}}h^ p(M,\Omega^ q)\) are the Hodge numbers of M. ``Type \(K_ 0''\) is a technical condition on compact complex manifold, automatically satisfied if M is Kähler. In this case \(h^{0,1}+h^{1,0}\) is the first Betti number of M, and the theorem reduces to the result of \textit{J. B. Carrell} and \textit{D. I. Liebermann} [Invent Math. 21, 303-309 (1973; Zbl 0253.32017)] and \textit{A. J. Sommese} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 31, 51-54 (1973; Zbl 0244.32013)]. The author also obtains related results on the nature of the group of biholomorphisms of M.
