Local classification of conformally-Einstein K\"ahler metrics in higher dimensions

Abstract

The requirement that a (non-Einstein) K\"ahler metric in any given complex dimension m>2m>2 be almost-everywhere conformally Einstein turns out to be much more restrictive, even locally, than in the case of complex surfaces. The local biholomorphic-isometry types of such metrics depend, for each m>2m>2, on three real parameters along with an arbitrary K\"ahler-Einstein metric hh in complex dimension m1m-1. We provide an explicit description of all these local-isometry types, for any given hh. That result is derived from a more general local classification theorem for metrics admitting functions we call {\it special K\"ahler-Ricci potentials}.
