Abstract

For a (Reimannian) symmetric space G/KG/K of compact type, the natural action of GG on its complexification GC/KCG^{\mathbb C}/K^{\mathbb C} (which is an anti-Kaehler symmetric space) is one of the isometric actions called ``Hermann type action''. Let ψ\psi be the GG-invariant strictly plurisubharmonic CC^{\infty}-function on an open set of GC/KCG^{\mathbb C}/K^{\mathbb C} arising from a WW-invariant strictly convex CC^{\infty}-function ρ\rho on an open set of a maximal abelian subspace ad\mathfrak a^d of pd\mathfrak p^d, where pd\mathfrak p^d is the subspace of the Lie algebra gd\mathfrak g^d of GdG^d such that gd=kpd\mathfrak g^d=\mathfrak k\oplus\mathfrak p^d gives the Cartan decomposition associated to the dual symmetric space Gd/KG^d/K of G/KG/K and WW is the Weyl group assocaited to ad\mathfrak a^d. In this paper, we first give a new proof of a known relation between the complex Hessian of ψ\psi and the Hessian of ρ\rho. This new proof is performed from the viewpoint of the orbit geometry of the Hermann type action GGC/KCG\curvearrowright G^{\mathbb C}/K^{\mathbb C}. In more detail, it is performed by using the explicit descriptions of the shape operators of the orbits of the isotropy action KGd/KK\curvearrowright G^d/K and the Hermann type action GGC/KCG\curvearrowright G^{\mathbb C}/K^{\mathbb C}. Next we prove that there exists a CC^{\infty}-Calabi-Yau structure on the whole of the complexification GC/KCG^{\mathbb C}/K^{\mathbb C} in the case where G/KG/K is of rank two on the basis of this relation. In the future, the above new proof will be useful to investigate the existence of invariant Calabi-Yau structure on an anti-Kaehler manifold equipped with a certain kind of complex hyperpolar action in more general, where we note that Hermann type actions are complex hyperpolar.
