Abstract

We pursuit the research line proposed in \cite{YZ-Gflat} about the classification of Hermitian manifolds whose ss-Gauduchon connection s=(1s2)c+s2b\nabla^s =(1-\frac{s}{2})\nabla^c + \frac{s}{2}\nabla^b is flat, where sRs \in \mathbb{R} and c\nabla^c and b\nabla^b are the Chern and the Bismut connections, respectively. We focus on Lie groups equipped with a left invariant Hermitian structure. Such spaces provide an important class of Hermitian manifolds in various contexts and are often a valuable vehicle for testing new phenomena in complex and Hermitian geometry. More precisely, we consider a connected 2n2n-dimensional Lie group GG equipped with a left-invariant complex structure JJ and a left-invariant compatible metric gg and we assume that its connection s\nabla^s is flat. Our main result states that if either nn=2 or there exits a s\nabla^s-parallel left invariant frame on GG, then gg must be K\"ahler. This result demonstrates rigidity properties of some complete Hermitian manifolds with s\nabla^s-flat Hermitian metrics.
