abstract

An old conjecture in non-K\"ahler geometry states that, if a compact Hermitian manifold has constant holomorphic sectional curvature, then the metric must be K\"ahler (when the constant is non-zero) or Chern flat (when the constant is zero). It is known to be true in complex dimension $2$ by the work of Balas and Gauduchon in 1985 (when the constant is negative or zero) and Apostolov, Davidov and Muskarov in 1996 (in general). In dimension $3$ or higher, the conjecture is only known in some special cases, such as for all twistor spaces by the work of Davidov, Grantcharov, and Muskarov, or for the locally conformally K\"ahler case (when the constant is negative or zero) by the work of H. Chen, L. Chen and Nie, or for all non-balanced Bismut torsion parallel (BTP) manifolds by the work of S. Chen and Zheng, where they also showed that the conjecture holds for all balanced BTP threefolds, utilizing a classification result by Zhao and Zheng. In this article, we show that the conjecture is valid for all balanced BTP manifolds in complex dimension $4$. The interesting part is that while balanced BTP manifolds are highly restrictive, the classification is still lacking in dimensions $4$ or higher, and this study might shed some light on the structure of balanced BTP manifolds in dimension $4$.

  1. Compact balanced threefolds and LCK manifolds with constant holomorphic sectional curvature

    math.DG 2026-08 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Compact balanced threefolds with nonpositive constant Chern holomorphic sectional curvature are Chern flat (c=0) or Kähler (c<0), and constant-curvature LCK manifolds are Kähler or Hopf-covered.
