Light-cone parametrizations for Kähler manifolds (Q2368017)

It is shown that, for any Kähler manifold, there exist parametrizations such that the metric takes a block-form identical to the light-cone metric introduced by Polyakov for two-dimensional gravity. Besides its possible relevance for various aspects of Kählerian geometry, this fact allows us to change gauge in \(W\)-gravities, and explicitly go from the conformal (Toda) gauge to the light-cone gauge using the \(W\)-geometry we proposed earlier (this will be discussed in detail in a forthcoming article).
