Abstract

A locally conformally Kahler manifold is a Hermitian manifold (M,I,ω)(M,I,\omega) satisfying dω=θωd\omega=\theta\wedge \omega, where θ\theta is a closed 1-form, called the Lee form of MM. It is called pluricanonical if θ\nabla\theta is of Hodge type (2,0)+(0,2)(2,0)+(0,2), where \nabla is the Levi-Civita connection, and Vaisman if θ=0\nabla\theta=0. We show that a compact LCK manifold is pluricanonical if and only if the Lee form has constant length and the Kahler form of its covering admits an automorphic potential. Using a degenerate Monge-Ampere equation and the classification of surfaces of Kahler rank one, due to Brunella, Chiose and Toma, we show that any pluricanonical metric on a compact manifold is Vaisman. Several errata to our previous work are given in the last Section.
