    This paper is devoted to the study of self-similar Hessian and special Kähler manifolds. Recall that a Hessian manifold is an affine manifold with a Riemannian metric which is locally equivalent to the Hessian of a function. Any Kähler metric can be locally defined as a complex Hessian \(\partial \bar{\partial}\varphi\). Thus, Hessian geometry can be regarded as a real analogue of Kähler geometry. A special Kähler manifold is a Kähler manifold \((M, I, g)\) equipped with a torsion-free symplectic connection such that \(g\) is a Hessian metric with respect to \(g\). A Hessian manifold \((M, \nabla, g)\) endowed with an affine vector field \(\xi\) satisfying \(\mathcal{L}_\xi g = 2g\) is said to be self-similar. Analogously, a self-similar special Kähler manifold is a special Kähler manifold endowed with a holomorphic vector field \(\xi\) such that \(\mathcal{L}_\xi g = 2g\). Considering the action of a group \(G\) on a self-similar Hessian (resp., special Kähler) manifold \((M, \nabla, g, \xi)\) by affine (resp., holomorphic) isometries preserving \(\xi\) and such that \(G\) acts on the level set \(\{g(\xi,\xi)=1\}\) simply transitively, the author constructs a homogeneous conformally Kähler (resp., hyper-Kähler) structure on \(TM\) (resp., \(T^*M\)).
