A Riemannian metric on a complex manifold is a Kähler metric when its complex-linear extension is a Hermitian form on each tangent space and its fundamental two-formis closed. Equivalently, is a positive real closed -form, making a Kähler manifold.
The Lefschetz operator of a Kähler manifold and its adjoint areBecause and has type , both and vanish. The graded Leibniz rule therefore gives .
Writing formal adjoints with stars, define the three Laplacians byThe supplied Kähler identities identity gives, by complex conjugation and taking adjoints,Expanding these commutators and using shows that the mixed terms in vanish and that . Since , it follows that
