Abstract

We study a nearly Kaehler manifold M admitting a closed conformal vector field V, and obtain three results under the following assumptions (i) V is almost analytic, (ii) M has real dimension \(>6\), is complete and strictly nearly Kaehler, and (iii) M is complete strictly nearly Kaehler of global constant type.
