On the Strominger system and holomorphic deformations (Q1725904)

Let \(X\) be a compact complex manifold with holomorphically trivial canonical bundle. The existence of a ``canonical'' Hermitian metric on \(X\) is obtained if there exists a solution for the so-called Strominger system. For instance, if \(X\) is Kähler Calabi-Yau, this system has a solution. It is known that there are non-Kähler manifolds which are solutions of the Strominger system [\textit{J. Li} and \textit{S. Yau}, J. Differ. Geom. 70, No. 1, 143--181 (2005; Zbl 1102.53052)]. If the Strominger system has solution for \(X\), then this manifold is said to have the \textit{Strominger property}. (So, by the above, Kähler Calabi-Yau manifolds have the Strominger property). In this paper the authors prove that the Strominger property is not stable, meaning that such a property may be lost under holomorphic deformations.
