Existence criteria for special locally conformally Kähler metrics (Q1736328)

A Hermitian manifold $(M,g,J)$ is said to be a locally conformally Kähler (in short LCK) manifold if the fundamental 2-form $\omega:=g(J\cdot,\cdot)$ satisfies $d\omega=\theta\wedge\omega$ for some closed 1-form $\theta$ on $M$, called the Lee form. An LCK manifold $(M,g,J)$ is called Vaisman if the Lee form $\theta$ is parallel with respect to the Levi-Civita connection of $g$. In this paper, the author investigates the relation between the existence of special LCK metrics on a compact complex manifold and the group of biholomorphisms of the manifold. The main result of the article states that if the group of biholomorphisms of the manifold contains a compact torus which is not totally real, then there exists a Vaisman metric on manifold. This result generalizes a criterion of \textit{Y. Kamishima} and \textit{L. Ornea} [Tohoku Math. J. (2) 57, No. 2, 201--221 (2005; Zbl 1083.53068)] for deciding whether a given LCK conformal class is Vaisman or not, in terms of the presence of a complex Lie group with certain properties. Moreover, the author derives some interesting consequences of this result, obtaining in particular the classification of the manifolds of LCK type among all the manifolds having the structure of a holomorphic torus principal bundle. In the last part of the paper, it is proved that the product manifold $M=M_1\times M_2$ of two compact Hermitian manifolds $(M_i,g_i)$, $i=1,2$, admits no LCK structure if $M_1$ is of Vaisman type or if $M_1$ is a Riemann surface and $M_2$ admits no LCK metrics with positive potential.
