Abstract We study conformal Killing forms on compact 6-dimensional nearly Kahler manifolds. Our main result concerns forms of degree 3. Here we give a classification showing that all conformal Killing 3-forms are linear combinations of dω and its Hodge dual ⁎ d ω , where ω is the fundamental 2-form of the nearly Kahler structure. The proof is based on a fundamental integrability condition for conformal Killing forms. We have partial results in the case of conformal Killing 2-forms. In particular we show the non-existence of J-anti-invariant Killing 2-forms.
