Selfsimilar Hessian manifolds

Abstract

A selfsimiar manifold is a Riemannian manifold $\left(M,g\right)$ endowed with a homothetic vector field $\xi$. We characterize global selfsimilar manifolds and describe the structure of local selfsimilar manifolds. We prove that any selfsimilar manifold with a potential homothetic vector field is a conical Riemannian manifold or a Eucledean space. A radiant Hessian manifold is selfsimilar Hessian manifold $\left(M,\nabla,g,\xi\right)$ such that $\nabla\xi=\lambda \text{Id}$. We prove that any selfsimilar Hessian manifold with a potential homothetic vector field is locally isomorphic to a product radiant Hessian manifolds and describe the local structure of radiant selfsimialar Hessian manifolds.
