Kähler rigidity for manifolds with continuous symmetries

From papers

Let (M1,g1,J1,ω1)(M_1,g_1,J_1,\omega_1) and (M2,g2,J2,ω2)(M_2,g_2,J_2,\omega_2) be compact Kähler manifolds. Let IsomKah(Mi)\operatorname{Isom_{\mathrm{Kah}}}(M_i) denote the Lie group of holomorphic isometries of MiM_i. Suppose there is a Lie-group isomorphism

Φ:IsomKah(M1)IsomKah(M2),\Phi:\operatorname{Isom_{\mathrm{Kah}}}(M_1)\cong\operatorname{Isom_{\mathrm{Kah}}}(M_2),

and both groups have positive dimension. Kähler rigidity conjecture. Then M1M_1 and M2M_2 are biholomorphic. Moreover, if Φ\Phi is induced by an algebraic correspondence between the groups of isometries, then M1M_1 and M2M_2 are isometric up to a constant scaling factor of their Kähler metrics. The conjecture concerns whether continuous global symmetry groups determine the underlying complex and Riemannian structures; the full statement remains open and is false without additional structure, such as curvature, stability, or special-metric assumptions.
