Abstract: We study the structure of Lie groups admitting left invariant abelian complex structures in terms of commutative associative algebras. If, in addition, the Lie group is equipped with a left invariant Hermitian structure, it turns out that such a Hermitian structure is K"ahler if and only if the Lie group is the direct product of several copies of the real hyperbolic plane by a euclidean factor. Moreover, we show that if a left invariant Hermitian metric on a Lie group with an abelian complex structure has flat first canonical connection, then the Lie group is abelian.

Review text

Let \(\mathfrak g\) a Lie algebra and \(g\) an inner product on \(\mathfrak g\). If \(J\) is a complex structure that is also an isometry of \(g\), then \((\mathfrak g,J,g)\) is an Hermitian Lie algebra. The corresponding simply connected Lie group \(G\) with left-invariant Riemannian metric and complex structures induced by \((g,J)\) is also called Hermitian. If, moreover, the Kähler 2-form defined by \(\omega(x,y)=g(Jx,y),\;x,y\in\mathfrak g\) is closed then both the Hermitian Lie algebra and its corresponding Lie group are called Kähler. In this paper, the authors study Hermitian Lie groups for which the complex structure is abelian, that is \([Jx,Jy]=[x,y]\) for all \(x,y\in\mathfrak g\). In particular, they prove strong structure results for those Hermitian Lie groups which are Kähler yielding to the characterization of simply connected Lie groups admitting left-invariant Kähler structures with \(J\) abelian. Indeed any such Lie group is a product of 2-dimensional hyperbolic spaces and an abelian factor. Finally, the authors consider the first canonical connection associated to a Hermitian Lie groups which is defined by \(\nabla^1_xy=\frac12(\nabla^g_xy-J\nabla_x^gJy)\), \(x,y\in\mathfrak g\) (\(\nabla^g\) is the Levi-Civita connection determined by \(g\)). They show that, if \(J\) is abelian and \(\nabla^1\) is flat, then \(G\) is abelian.
