Mixed Chern curvature on complete flags
Abstract
We prove that the complete flag manifold SU(m)/T m-1, with m >= 3 and its standard complex structure, admits no invariant Hermitian metric with constant mixed Chern curvature when the coefficient of the holomorphic sectional curvature is nonzero. This extends the preceding nonexistence result for a particular Wallach metric on SU(3)/T2 to all invariant Hermitian metrics and to complete type-A flags of arbitrary dimension. Curvature evaluations on holomorphic root spheres contradict a necessary trace identity, covering both Kahler and non-Kahler invariant metrics and excluding both zero and nonzero curvature constants.
