1. INTRODUCTION.
Let πΎπΎππ be a connected (πΆπΆβ -) differentiable Kaehlerian spaces of dimension n and gji , βππ, Rβ ππππππ , Rji and R, respectively
the components of metric tensor field, the operator of covariant differentiation with respect to the Levi-Civita connection, the curvature tensor field, the Ricci tensor field and the scalar curvature field. The indices a,b,c, β¦,i,j,k,β¦β¦.run over the range 1,2,3,β¦..,n. We shall denote gjaβππ by βππand the Laplace-Beltrami operator by β. In this paper, we assume that Kaehlerian spaces are connected and differentiable and functions are also differentiable.
An infinitesimal transformation ππβon Kn is said to be conformal, if it satisfies
(1.1) Β£π£π£ππππππ =βπππ£π£ππ+βπππ£π£ππ = 2ππππππππ,
for some function ππ on πΎπΎππ, where denote the operator of Lie-derivation with respect to π£π£β and π£π£ππ =πππππππ£π£ππ .
The ππ satisfies ππ=βaπ£π£πποΏ½ππ .If ππ in (1.1) is a constant, the transformation is said to be homothetic anf if ππ= 0, the transformation is called to be isometric. Hereafter, we shall denote the gradient of ππ by ππππ =βππππ We, now, put
πΊπΊππππ =π π ππππ β π π ππππππβππ,
πππΎπΎππ ππβ =π π ππππππ ββ π π (πππΎπΎβππππππβ ππππβππππππ βππ(ππ β1). We then have
(1. 2) Gji gji =0, ππ ππππππππ β πΊπΊππππ.
Here, Yano and Sawaki (1968) introduced the covariant tensor field
(1.3) Wkjih = aZkjih + b (gKh Gji β gjh Gki + GKh gji β Gjh gki) / (n-2) ,
Where a and b being constants, not both zero. It is easily seen that
Wkjih gkh = (a+b) Gji .
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hereafter, we shall use the following notations:
f = Gji Gji, z = Zkjih Zkjih , w = Wkjih Wkjih .
Also, Yano and Sawaki (1968) give the following properties:
Definition (1.1): Suppose that a compact orientable Riemannian space Mn with constant scalar curvature field R and of
dimension >2 satiesfies
πΌπΌ0ππ+π½π½0π§π§ β πΌπΌ1βππ β π½π½1βπ§π§=ππππππππππππππππ,

If Mn admits and infinitesimal non-isometric conformal transformation π£π£β: Β£π£π£ππππππ = 2ππππππππ , ππ β 0 , then Mn is
isometric to a sphere.

then Mn is isometric to a sphere.

If Β£π£π£Β£π£π£π€π€= 0 , a and b being constant such that a+bβ 0, then Mn is isometric to a sphere.
2. ADMITTING A CONFORMAL TRANSFORMATION GROUP ON KAEHLERIAN RECURRENT SPACES
In a Riemannian space Mn, for an infinitesimal conformal transformation π£π£β: Β£π£π£ππππππ = 2ππππππππ , ππ β 0.we have Yano
(1957)
Β£π£π£π π ππππππβ =βπΏπΏ ππββππππππ+πΏπΏ ππ ββππππππβ(βππππβ)ππππππ+ (βππππβ)ππππππ,
Β£π£π£π π ππππ =β(ππ β2)βππππππβ βππππππππ
Β£π£π£π π =β2(ππ β1)βππ β2πππ π
Thus, for Kn with constant scalar curvature field R,
βππ=βπ π ππ/(ππ β1) ππππππ
(2.1) βπππΊπΊππππ = 1 2 (β ππ β1)ππβ1βπππ π = 0
We have, from (1.2),
Β£π£π£ππππππππ β =βππππββiΟiβgjhβkΟiβ οΏ½βkΟhοΏ½gji+οΏ½βjΟhοΏ½gki+ 2βΟ(gkhgjiβgjhgki)/n +2ππππππππππ β .
By straightforward calculations, we have, in view of (1.3) and (2.2)
(Β£π£π£ππππππππ β)ππππππππ β=β4(ππ+ππ)2(βππππππ)ππππππ + 2ππππππππππ βππππππππ β .
On the other hand, we get
(Β£π£π£ππππππππ β)ππππππππ β=οΏ½Β£π£π£ππππππππ βοΏ½ππππππππ ββ8ππππππππππ βππππππππ β .
Thus, we have
(2.3) Β£π£π£π€π€=β8(ππ+ππ)2(βππππππ)πΊπΊππππ β4πππ€π€.
Now, we have the following Lemmas:
Lemma (2.1): If a compact orientable Kaehlerian space Kn of dimension n admits an infinitesimal conformal
transformation π£π£β: Β£π£π£ππππππ = 2ππππππππ then foe any function F on Kn,
(2.4) β«πΎπΎππππFπππ£π£=β1/ππβ«πΎπΎππΒ£π£π£F πππ£π£ .
Proof: Since ππ=βπππ£π£ππβππ, we have by using Greenβs Theorem
β«πΎπΎππβππ(Fπ£π£ππ)πππ£π£=β«πΎπΎππ Β£π£π£Fπππ£π£+β«πΎπΎππ ππFπππ£π£= 0 ,
Which proves (2.4).
Lemma (2.2): If a compact Orientable Kaehlerian space Kn with constant scalar curvature field R and of dimension n
admits an infinitesimal conformal transformation on π£π£β: Β£π£π£ππππππ = 2ππππππππ, thenβ«πΎπΎππππ(βππππππ)πΊπΊπππππππ£π£=ββ«πΎπΎππ πΊπΊπππππππππππππππ£π£ .
Proof: This follows from (2.1) and

Lemma (2.3): Hiramatu gives, If a compact orientable Kaehlerian space Kn with constant scalar curvature field R and

Lemma (2.4): If a compact orientable Kaehlerian space Kn with

Which shows (2.6).
Lemma (2.5): Hiramatu gives, If a compact Orientable Kaehlerian space Kn with constant scalar curvature field R and
of dimension n β₯ 2 admits an infinitesimal conformal transformation π£π£β: Β£π£π£ππππππ = 2ππππππππ, then for any function F on Kn ,

Lemma (2.6): Yano (1966) gives, If a compact Oreintable Kaehlerian space Kn with constant scalar curvature field R
and of dimension >2 admits on infinitesimal non-isometric conformal transformation π£π£β: Β£π£π£ππππππ = 2ππππππππ,ππ β 0 , then
β«πΎπΎππ Gπππππππππππππππ£π£ β€0 ,
The equality holds if and only if Kn is isometric to a sphere.
We have the following
Theorem (2.1): If a compact orientable Kaehlerian space Kn with constant scalar curvature field R and of dimension >2
admits an infinitesimal non - isometric conformal transformation
π£π£β: Β£π£π£ππππππ = 2ππππππππ , ππ β 0 then

such that if n>6, (1.4) holds, the equality in (2.7) holds if and only if Kn is isometric to a sphere.

From Lemma (2.6) and our assumption, we can see that the right hands side of the above relation in non-negative and consequently (2.7) holds. If the equality in (2.7) holds, then, from our assumption, we have
(2.8) β«πΎπΎππGπππππππππππππππ£π£= 0,
And Kn is isometric to a sphere, by virtue of Lemma (2.6).
Conversely, If Kn is isometric to a sphere, we get Gππππ=0 and Zππππππ β=0 and the equality in (2.7) holds.
Remark (2.1): If we assueme that πΌπΌ0ππ+π½π½0π§π§ β πΌπΌ1βππ β π½π½1βπ§π§=ππ (constant), from Theorem (2.1), we have cβ€0 . On the other hand cβ₯0 holds, because
ππβ«πΎπΎπππππ£π£=β«πΎπΎπππππππ£π£=β«πΎπΎππ(πΌπΌ0ππ+π½π½0π§π§ β πΌπΌ1βππ β π½π½1βπ§π§)πππ£π£
=πΌπΌ0β«πΎπΎπππππππ£π£+π½π½0β«πΎπΎπππ§π§πππ£π£ β₯0 .
Thus, if πΌπΌ0ππ+π½π½0π§π§ β πΌπΌ1βππ β π½π½1βπ§π§ is a constant, then the constant is equal to zero and consequently the equality in (2.7) holds, and Kn is isometric to a sphere.

Proof: Making use of (2.5) in Lemmas (2.3), (2.5) and

We have

From Lemma (2.6) and our assumption, we can see that the right hand side of the above equation is non-negative and consequently (2.9) holds, because it follows from our assumption that
πΌπΌ0 π π (ππ β1)β1πΌπΌ1πππππππ½π½0 π π (ππ β1)β1π½π½1
are non-negative and not both zero. If the equality in (2.9) holds, then we have (2.8) and Kn is isometric to a sphere by
virtue of Lemma (2.6).
Conversely, If Kn is isometric to a sphere, we get Gππππ = 0 and Zππππππ β = 0 and the equality in (2.9) holds.
Theorem (2.3): If a compact orientable space Kn with constant scalar curvature field R and of dimension >2 admits an
