On deformations of Kähler spaces. I (Q1070398): Difference between revisions

Kähler spaces, i.e. Kähler manifolds with singularities were introduced by Grauert, and their relative situations are defined by Fujiki as Kähler maps. Contrary to the case of Kähler manifolds, local deformations of Kähler spaces are in general not Kähler. In this paper the following theorem is proved: Let \(f: X\to S\) be a proper holomorphic map and \(X_ s\) a fiber over \(s\in S\). If all infinitesimal neighborhoods of \(X_ s\) are Kähler spaces, then f is Kähler in a neighborhood of s. Furthermore, the author introduces the notion of weakly Kähler metrics and weakly Kähler maps and prove a theorem similar to the above one for weakly Kähler maps. If f is flat, then the obstructions for lifting a real analytic weakly Kähler metric on \(X_ s\) to its infinitesimal neighborhoods are in the cokernel of the natural map \(H^ 2(X_ s,{\mathfrak R})\to H^ 2(X_ s,{\mathcal O}_{X_ s}).\) Therefore one concludes that if \(X_ s\) is Kähler and if the above natural map is surjective, then f is weakly Kähler in s. Certain sufficient condition for a weakly Kähler map to be a Kähler map is also proved.
