This paper continues our study [1], [2] of the curvature properties of the class of homogeneous Kahler metrics arising from admissible forms on normal y-algebras. As is well-known, this class includes the Bergman metrics on homogeneous bounded domains. In § 1 we derive new necessary conditions for nonpositive sectional curvature. Then in §2 we use these and the results of J. Dorfmeister [3] to prove our main result: If a quasi-symmetric domain (in the sense of Satake [6]) has nonpositive sectional curvature in the Bergman metric, then it is symmetric. This should be contrasted with the result of Zelow (Lundquist) [7], [8] that quasi-symmetric domains have holomorphic sectional curvature bounded above by a negative constant. §3 gives an improvement of a result in [2] and a correction.
