Abstract

The Kähler case of Riemannian homogeneous structures [3, 15, 18] has been studied in [1, 2, 6, 7, 13, 16], among other papers. Abbena and Garbiero [1] gave a classification of Kähler homogeneous structures, which has four primitive classes [Kscr ]1, …, [Kscr ]4 (see [6, theorem 5·1] for another proof and Section 2 below for the result). The purpose of the present paper is to prove the following result:

THEOREM 1·1. A simply connected irreducible homogeneous Kähler manifold admits a nonvanishing Kähler homogeneous structure in Abbena–Garbiero's class [Kscr ]2 [oplus ] [Kscr ]4if and only if it is the complex hyperbolic space equipped with the Bergman metric of negative constant holomorphic sectional curvature.
