Abstract

It is known that, in a complete Riemannian manifold $(M, g)$, if the Hessian of a real valued function satisfies some suitable conditions, then it restricts the geometry of $(M, g)$. In this paper we give a characterization of a certain class of Kähler manifolds admitting a real valued function $u$ such that the Hessian has two eigenvalues $u$ and $\frac{1+u}{2}$.
