Locally conformally Kähler manifolds admitting a holomorphic conformal flow
A manifold \(M\) is a locally conformal Kähler manifold (LCK) if it admits a Kähler covering \((\tilde{M},\tilde{\omega})\) with monodromy acting by homotheties. \(M\) is called an LCK manifold with an automorphic potential if furthermore \(\tilde{\omega}=dd^c \phi\) for some automorphic function \(\phi\). The paper under review proves that an LCK manifold \(M\) admitting a holomorphic conformal flow of diffeomorphisms, lifted to non-isometric homothetic flow on \(\tilde{M}\), has an automorphic potential and the monodromy group of its conformal weight bundle is \({\mathbb Z}\). The paper then concludes that an LCK manifold with an automorphic potential always admits a holomorphic conformal \(S^1\) action which lifts to an action by non-trivial homotheties on its covering
