Sep 8, 2020 at 14:04 comment added LSpice Since yes / no answers can be confusing at first, I'm just putting the question being answered (as "no, not necessarily") here: "[Under the stated conditions,] Is there a diffeomorphism $\psi \colon M \to N$ such that $\psi^*(\omega_N) = \omega_M$ and $\psi^*(J_N) = J_N$?"
Sep 8, 2020 at 12:34 comment added Robert Bryant @JoeT: Oh, I didn't notice/remember that; it seems like a peculiar, unmotivated restriction. Of course, the $\mathbb{CP}^2$ example still works, and moreover, the observation about embedding extends to $\mathbb{CP}^2$. All one needs to do is find a $\mathbb{CP}^2$ embedded in some $\mathbb{CP}^n$ in such a way that the metric induced from the ambient $\mathbb{CP}^n$'s Fubini-Study metric has no nontrivial isometries, which is easy to do. It won't have the same volume as $\mathbb{CP}^2$'s Fubini-Study metric, but some (high?) integer multiple of it.
Sep 8, 2020 at 11:47 comment added user164740 I edited the question to require the isometry to be orientation-preserving.

Added a simpler example with better properties.

Fixed some typos.
Sep 5, 2020 at 13:34 comment added Robert Bryant @DanielPomerleano: Oh, yes, you are right, those are typos. I'll fix them now.
Sep 5, 2020 at 13:07 comment added Daniel Pomerleano @RobertBryant "...there is a symplectomorphism between $(M,J_M)$ and $(M,\omega_0)$." I think that should read $(M,\omega_M)$? Similarly in the next sentence.

Sep 5, 2020 at 10:11 comment added Robert Bryant @JoeT: No. In the first place, as constructed above, $g_M$ will generically not be real-analytic in any coordinate system, and hence cannot be the pullback of a real-analytic metric via a real-analytic embedding. More directly, $g_M$ has the same total volume as the Fubini-Study metric on $\mathbb{CP}^2$, so any holomorphic embedding into $\mathbb{CP}^n$ that induced this metric would have to be a linear embedding and hence be isometric to the Fubini-Study metric on $\mathbb{CP}^2$ itself.
Sep 5, 2020 at 8:33 comment added user164740 is there a holomorphic embedding $\mathbb{C}P^2\to \mathbb{C}P^n$ that pulls back the Fubini-Study metric to $g_M$?

Cleaned up the exposition a little bit.
