Synopsis:

Abstract: Ambrose-Singer gave a characterization on when a Riemannian manifold is locally homogenous via the existence of the so called Ambrose-Singer connection. In this talk I shall explain a classification result proved jointly with F. Zheng on Hermitian manifolds when  the Chern connection is Ambrose-Singer. The universal cover of such a manifold is the product of a complex Lie group and Hermitian symmetric spaces. The proof exploits the existence of certain symplectic holomorphic 2-forms and the holonomy systems introduced by J. Simons.
