We show that if a compact hypersurface $M \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $n \geq3$, admits a non zero Killing vector field $X$ of constant length then $n$ is even and $M$ is diffeomorphic to the unit hypersphere of $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. Actually,…

We prove that every conformal vector field on the complex hyperbolic space $\mathbb{C}H^n$ is Killing for all $n\ge 2$. Although this rigidity is classically known, our proof is entirely different in nature: it is local, analytic, and fully…

A vector field on a Riemannian manifold is called conformal Killing if it generates one-parameter group of conformal transformations. The class of conformal Killing symmetric tensor fields of an arbitrary rank is a natural generalization of…

We prove that a compact quaternionic-K\"{a}hler manifold of dimension $4n\geq 8$ admitting a conformal-Killing 2-form which is not Killing, is isomorphic to the quaternionic projective space, with its standard quaternionic-K\"{a}hler…

We show that if a connected compact k\"ahlerian surface $M$ with nonpositive gaussian curvature is furnished with a closed conformal vector field $\xi$ whose singular points are isolated, then $M$ is isometric to a flat torus and $\xi$ is…

A locally conformally K\"ahler (LCK) manifold is a complex manifold whose universal cover is K\"ahler with monodromy group acting on the universal cover by holomorphic homotheties. A Vaisman manifold $M$ is a compact non-K\"ahler LCK…

We propose an approach to the existence problem for locally conformally K\"ahler metrics on compact complex manifolds by introducing and studying a functional that is different according to whether the complex dimension of the manifold is…

This paper investigates timelike conformal vector fields on closed Lorentzian $3$-manifolds and shows that, although these fields form a broader class than Killing fields, their behavior in dimension three is nonetheless remarkably rigid.…
