A characterization of complex space forms via Laplace operators

Inspired by the work of Z. Lu and G. Tian \cite{lutian}, in this paper we address the problem of studying those \K\ manifolds satisfying the $Δ$-property, i.e. such that on a neighborhood of each of its points the $k$-th power of the \K Laplacian is a polynomial function of the complex Euclidean Laplacian, for all positive integer $k$ (see below for its definition). We prove two results: 1. if a \K\ manifold satisfies the $Δ$-property then its curvature tensor is parallel; 2. if an Hermitian symmetric space of classical type satisfies the $Δ$-property then it is a complex space form (namely it has constant holomorphic sectional curvature). In view of these results we believe that if a complete and simply-connected \K\ manifold satisfies the $Δ$-property then it is a complex space form.
