Abstract
The purpose of this talk is to point out the similarity between the methods used in investigating the rigidity of compact complex manifolds and those employed in studying their strong rigidity. We hope that in understanding more fully this similarity we can obtain strong rigidity results for Einstein manifolds by using the techniques used in obtaining known results on the rigidity of Einstein manifolds.
