LCK metrics on Oeljeklaus-Toma manifolds versus Kronecker's theorem

Abstract

A locally conformally Kähler (LCK) manifold is a manifold which is covered by a Kähler manifold, with the deck transform group acting by homotheties. We show that the search for LCK metrics on Oeljeklaus-Toma manifolds leads to a (yet another) variation on Kronecker's theorem on units. In turn, this implies that on Oeljeklaus-Toma manifold associated to number fields with $2t$ complex embeddings and $s$ real embeddings with $s<t$ there is no LCK metric.
