Conformal Killing forms on nearly K\"ahler manifolds

Abstract

We study conformal Killing forms on compact 6-dimensional nearly K\"ahler manifolds. Our main result concerns forms of degree 3. Here we give a classification showing that all conformal Killing 3-forms are linear combinations of dωd \omega and its Hodge dual dω* d\omega where ω\omega is the fundamental 2-form of the nearly K\"ahler structure. The proof is based on a fundamental integrability condition for conformal Killing forms. We have partial results in the case of conformal Killing 2-forms. In particular we show the non-existence of J-anti-invariant Killing 2-forms.
