Volume-preserving mappings between Hermitian symmetric spaces of compact type (Q2281322)

The purpose of this paper is to prove the following rigidity theorem: Let \((M, \omega)\) be an irreducible \(n\)-dimensional Hermitian symmetric space of compact type, equipped with a canonical Kähler-Einstein metric \(\omega\). Let \(F=(F_{1},\dots,F_{m})\) be a holomorphic mapping from a connected open subset \(U \subset M\) into the \(m\)-Cartesian product \(M \times\dots\times M\) of \(M\). Assume that each \(F_{j}\) is generically non-degenerate in the sense that \(F^*_j(\omega^n)\not\equiv 0\) over \(U\). Assume that \(F\) satisfies the following volume-preserving (or measure-preserving) equation: \( \omega^n=\sum_{i=1}^m \lambda_i F_{i}^*(\omega^n)\), for certain constants \(\lambda_j > 0.\) Then for each \(j\) with \(1\le j\le m\), \(F_{j}\) extends to a holomorphic isometry of \((M,\omega)\). In particular, the conformal factors satisfy the identity: \(\sum_{j=1}^{m}\lambda_j=1\). In Appendix A, the authors give the concrete functions for a minimal holomorphic embedding of a Hermitian symmetric space of exceptional type into a projective space.
