No-scale identity from degree-one homogeneity

ID: no-scale-identity-from-degree-one-homogeneity

Let where is twice differentiable and homogeneous of degree one. If the Kähler Hessian is invertible, the Euler theorem for homogeneous functions identities give , then and . Multiplication by nine gives the no-scale identity. A positive degree-one need not induce an invertible or positive Kähler metric: gives a rank-one metric for . The Hessian matrix itself always has the radial null vector , whereas the Hessian matrix of can be invertible. In a larger theory the relevant full inverse metric, or a decoupled block, must obey the identity.
