Abstract We give a complete description of all locally conformally Kähler structures with holomorphic Lee vector field on a compact complex manifold of Vaisman type. This provides in particular examples of such structures whose Lee vector field is not homothetic to the Lee vector field of a Vaisman structure. More generally, dropping the condition of being of Vaisman type, we show that on a compact complex manifold, any lcK metric with potential and with holomorphic Lee vector field admits a potential which is positive and invariant along the anti-Lee vector field.

1 Introduction A Hermitian metric g on a complex manifold (M, J ) is called locally conformally Kähler (in short, lcK) if around any point in M, the metric g can be conformally rescaled to a Kähler metric. This condition is equivalent to the existence of a closed 1-form θ such that d = θ ∧ , where  denotes the fundamental 2-form defined as (·, ·) := g(J ·, ·). The 1-form θ is called the Lee form and its metric dual is called the Lee vector field. In this paper we assume that θ  = 0, i.e. (J , g, ) is not Kähler. A special class of lcK structures is represented by the so-called Vaisman structures, defined by the property that the Lee form is non-zero and parallel with respect to the Levi-Civita

connection of g. It is known that a Vaisman structure on a complex manifold is uniquely determined, up to a positive constant, by its Lee form, via the following identity: =

1 (θ ∧ J θ − d J θ ). |θ |2

On a compact complex manifold of Vaisman type, i.e. admitting at least one Vaisman metric, the Lee vector fields of all Vaisman structures are holomorphic, and coincide up to a positive multiplicative constant. This fact was originally obtained in [12], but for the reader’s convenience we give below an alternative proof. In [8], Moroianu et al. proved that a compact lcK manifold with holomorphic Lee vector field is Vaisman if the Lee vector field either has constant norm or is divergence-free. Moreover, they also construct examples of non-Vaisman lcK structures with holomorphic Lee vector field on a compact manifold of Vaisman type. These lcK structures, however, have the same Lee vector field as the Vaisman structures. More recently, Belgun [1] constructed examples of lc
