Abstract

A Hopf manifold is a quotient of \({\mathbb C}^n\backslash 0\) by the cyclic group generated by a holomorphic contraction. Hopf manifolds are diffeomorphic to \(S^1\times S^{2n-1}\) and hence do not admit Kähler metrics. It is known that Hopf manifolds defined by linear contractions (called linear Hopf manifolds) have locally conformally Kähler (LCK) metrics. In this paper, we prove that the Hopf manifolds defined by non-linear holomorphic contractions admit holomorphic embeddings into linear Hopf manifolds, and moreover, they admit LCK metrics.

Notes

  1. In the sequel, a differential form which is multiplied by a constant factor by the action of the deck group is called automorphic.

  2. \({\tilde{M}}_c\) is indeed the Stein completion of \({\tilde{M}}\) in the sense of [1]. The restriction \(\textsf{dim}_{\mathbb C}M\geqslant 3\) is imposed by our proof which makes use of the filling theorem by Rossi and Andreotti–Siu [1, 20].

  3. A set which has compact closure is called precompact.

  4. Here, as elsewhere, the notation \(A \Subset B\) means that A is relatively compact in B, that is, A is a subset of B and its closure is compact.

  5. Compare with the proof of [17, Theorem 2.14].

  6. A Schauder basis in a Banach space W is a set \(\{x_i\}\) of vectors such that the closure of the space generated by \(x_i\) is W, and the closure of the space generated by all of \(\{x_i\}\) except one of them does not contain the last one.
