The present paper is devoted to the study of differential geometry of Kaehlerian homogeneous spaces. In section 1 we deal with the canonical decomposition of a simply connected complete Kaehlerian space and that of its largest connected group of automorphisms. We know that a simply connected complete Riemannian space V is the product of Riemannian spaces V0, V1, …, Vn, where V0 is a Euclidean space and V1, …,Vn are not locally flat and their homogeneous holonomy groups are irreducible [2]. Moreover, if V is homogeneous, so are all Vk [10]. We shall show that if V is Kaehlerian space with real analytic metric (resp. Kaehlerian homogeneous space), each factor Vk is also Kaehlerian (resp. Kaehlerian homogeneous) and that V is the product of V0, V1, …, Vn as Kaehlerian space. We call this decomposition the de Rham decomposition of the Kaehlerian space V. Although this result is supposedly known, there is no published proof as yet. Using this decomposition theorem we shall show that the largest connected group of automorphisms of a simply connected complete Kaehlerian space with real analytic metric is the direct product of those of the factors of the de Rham decomposition. In the Riemannian case this result has be been established in [3] by one of the authors of the present paper.
