TITLE: Kähler form is harmonic
QUESTION [8 upvotes]: Let $M$ be a Kähler manifold with fundamental form $\omega(X,Y) = h(JX, Y)$. I am trying to show that $\omega$ is harmonic. The Kähler condition implies that $\omega$ is closed with respect to $d$, so it suffices to show that $\delta \omega = *d*\omega = 0$. However, I have been unable to do so. Any suggestions?

REPLY [8 votes]: That the Kahler form is harmonic also follows from the identity
$$
[L,\Delta_{d}] = 0,
$$
where $L$ is the Lefschetz operator, and acts according to $L(\nu) := \nu \wedge \omega$, where $\nu$ is any form. This identity in turn follows from the Kahler identities. In fact, this identity shows that wedging any harmonic form with the Kahler form will again produce a harmonic form.
