Abstract

Given a real-analytic Riemannian manifold XX there is a canonical complex structure, which is compatible with the canonical complex structure on TXT^*X and makes the leaves of the Riemannian foliation on TXTX into holomorphic curves, on its tangent bundle. A {\it Grauert tube} over XX of radius rr, denoted as TrXT^rX, is the collection of tangent vectors of XX of length less than rr equipped with this canonical complex structure. In this article, we prove the following two rigidity property of Grauert tubes. First, for any real-analytic Riemannian manifold such that rmax>0r_{max}>0, we show that the identity component of the automorphism group of TrXT^rX is isomorphic to the identity component of the isometry group of XX provided that r<rmaxr<r_{max}. Secondly, let XX be a homogeneous Riemannian manifold and let the radius r<rmaxr<r_{max}, then the automorphism group of TrXT^rX is isomorphic to the isometry group of XX and there is a unique Grauert tube representation for such a complex manifold TrXT^rX.
