Abstract
The subject of this article is the set of complex manifolds X whose group of automorphisms (of biholomorphic transformations) acts transitively on X. The list of one-dimensional complex manifolds having this property was surely known already to Poincaré. It consists of the complex plane C, the punctured plane C* = ℂ\{0}, the unit disc in C, the Riemann sphere, and one-dimensional complex tori (elliptic curves). In each of these cases it is easy to calculate the automorphism group and to see that it is a Lie group of transformations of the manifold X.
