Kähler manifolds admitting a flat complex conformal connection

Abstract: We prove that any Kaehler manifold admitting a flat complex conformal connection is a Bochner-Kaehler manifold with special scalar distribution and zero geometric constants. Applying the local structural theorem for such manifolds we obtain a complete description of the Kaehler manifolds under consideration.

Review text

Let \((M,g,I)\) be a Kähler manifold, \(\nabla\) its Levi-Civita connection with curvature \(R\). The Bochner curvature tensor \(B(R)\) is defined as \[ \begin{multlined} B(R)(x,y)Z=R(x,y)Z-Q(y,z)x+Q(x,y)-g(y,z)Q(x)+ g(x,z)Q(y)-Q(Iy,z) IX+\\ Q(Ix,z)Iy+2Q(Ix,y)I2-g(Iy,z)IQ(x)+g(Ix,z)IQ(y)+ 2g(Ix,y) IQ(z), \end{multlined} \] where \(x,y,z\) are vector fields, \(Q(x,y)= \frac{1}{2(n+2)}\rho (x,y)-\frac{\tau} {g(n+1)(n+2)}g(x,y)\) and \(Q(x)\) is the corresponding tensor of type \((1,1)\). Here \(\rho\) is the Ricci tensor and \(\tau\) the scalar curvature. The manifold \((x,g,I)\) is said to be Bochner-Kähler (or Bochner flat) if \(B(R)\) vanishes identically. The main result of the paper states that a Kähler manifold of dimension \(n\geq 3\) admits a flat complex conformal connection if and only if it is Bocher-Kähler with a special scalar distribution and zero geometric constants.
