Weyl homogeneous manifolds modeled on compact Lie groups

Abstract

A Riemannian manifold is called Weyl homogeneous, if its Weyl tensors at any two points are "the same", up to a positive multiple. A Weyl homogeneous manifold is modeled on a homogeneous space $M_0$, if its Weyl tensor at every point is "the same" as the Weyl tensor of $M_0$, up to a positive multiple. We prove that a Weyl homogeneous manifold $M^n,n\ge 4$, modeled on an irreducible symmetric space $M_0$ of types II or IV (compact simple Lie group with a bi-invariant metric or its noncompact dual) is conformally equivalent to $M_0$.
