Construction of projective special K\"ahler manifolds

Abstract

In this paper we present an intrinsic characterisation of projective special K\"ahler manifolds in terms of a symmetric tensor satisfying certain differential and algebraic conditions. We show that this tensor vanishes precisely when the structure is locally isomorphic to a standard projective special K\"ahler structure on $\mathrm{SU}(n,1)/\mathrm{S}(\mathrm{U}(n)\mathrm{U}(1))$. We use this characterisation to classify 4-dimensional projective special K\"ahler Lie groups.
