Kahler metrics whose geodesics are circles

Differential Geometry 2007-05-23 v1 Metric Geometry

Abstract

We classify all Kahler metrics in an open subset of C2C^2 whose real geodesics are circles. All such metrics are equivalent (via complex projective transformations) to Fubini metrics (i.e. to Fubini-Study metric on CP2CP^2 restricted to an affine chart, to the complex hyperbolic metric in the unit ball model or to the Euclidean metric).
