Existence d’une structure kählérienne sur les variétés homogènes semi-simples. (Existence of a kähler metric on semi-simple homogeneous manifolds). (French) Zbl 0635.32019
Suppose G is a Lie group which is algebraic over $${\mathbb{C}}$$ and H is an algebraic subgroup. Then the coset space G/H has a natural structure of a quasi-projective algebraic variety and, in particular, has a Kähler metric. The purpose of this note is to prove that if G is a complex semi- simple Lie group and G/H is Kähler, then H is algebraic. The methods rely on previous work on invariant plurisubharmonic functions, e.g. see the author’s dissertation [Fonctions plurisousharmoniques et kählériennité des variétés homogènes semi-simples, Thèse de Doctorat d’Université, U.S.T.L. Flandres Artois (1987)] or the author’s paper in J. Anal. Math. 48, 267-276 (1987; see the review above), and this result generalizes a previous result of the author and K. Oeljeklaus in the case of discrete isotropy [see “Invariant plurisubharmonic functions and hypersurfaces on semi-simple complex Lie groups”, Math. Ann., to appear].
Incidentally, for the case of solv-manifolds one should consult the paper of K. Oeljeklaus and W. Richthofer [On the structure of complex solv-manifolds, J. Diff. Geom., to appear]. Also related is the recent paper of W. Richthofer [Currents in homogeneous manifolds, to appear].
