Abstract

This article aims to investigate the curvature operator of the second kind on K\"ahler manifolds. The first result states that an mm-dimensional K\"ahler manifold with 32(m21)\frac{3}{2}(m^2-1)-nonnegative (respectively, 32(m21)\frac{3}{2}(m^2-1)-nonpositive) curvature operator of the second kind must have constant nonnegative (respectively, nonpositive) holomorphic sectional curvature. The second result asserts that a closed mm-dimensional K\"ahler manifold with (3m3m+22m)\left(\frac{3m^3-m+2}{2m}\right)-positive curvature operator of the second kind has positive orthogonal bisectional curvature, thus being biholomorphic to CPm\mathbb{CP}^m. We also prove that (3m3+2m23m22m)\left(\frac{3m^3+2m^2-3m-2}{2m}\right)-positive curvature operator of the second kind implies positive orthogonal Ricci curvature. Our approach is pointwise and algebraic.
