Abstract: According to Schoen and Yau (1988), an extensive class of conformally flat manifolds is realized as Kleinian manifolds. Nayatani (1997) constructed a metric on a Kleinian manifold $ M$ which is compatible with the canonical flat conformal structure. He showed that this metric $ g_N$ has a large symmetry if $ g_N$ is a complete metric. Under certain assumptions including the completeness of $ g_N$, the isometry group of $ (M,g_N)$ coincides with the conformal transformation group of $ M$. In this paper, we show that $ g_N$ may have a large symmetry even if $ g_N$ is not complete. In particular, every conformal transformation is an isometry when $ (M,g_N)$ corresponds to a geometrically finite Kleinian group.
