Adiabatic limit and the Frölicher spectral sequence (Q2305059)

In complex geometry, it is well known that the Frölicher spectral sequence of a compact Kähler manifold degenerates at \(E_1\) page (in particular it degenerates at \(E_2\) page). Since the Kähler condition is quite restrictive for compact complex manifolds of dimension at least 3, it is natural to seek other metric conditions which ensure the \(E_2\)-degeneration of the Frölicher spectral sequence. Let \(X\) be a compact complex manifold with a Hermitian metric \(\omega\). In this article, the author gives a sufficient metric condition for degeneration at \(E_2\), which roughly says that the torsion of \(\omega\) is ``small''. One of the new ideas is to consider the rescalings of \(\omega\) and \(\partial\), which is an adaption of the adiabatic limit construction associated with a Riemann foliation (see, e.g., [\textit{E. Witten}, Commun. Math. Phys. 100, 197--229 (1985; Zbl 0581.58038)]) to the case of the splitting \(d=\partial +\overline{\partial}\). It seems interesting to point out that similar ideas also appeared in the setting of non-abelian Hodge theory, see [\textit{C. Simpson}, Mixed twistor structures, arXiv preprint alg-geom/9705006, 1997] and Theorem 2.2.4 in [\textit{C. Sabbah}, Polarizable twistor \(\mathcal{D}\)-modules. Paris: Sociéteé Mathématique de France (2005; Zbl 1085.32014)]. Moreover, using a variant of the Efremov-Shubin variational principle, along with the pesudodifferential Laplacian in [the author, Int. J. Math. 27, No. 14, Article ID 1650111, 31 p. (2016; Zbl 1365.53067)] and Demaily's Bochner-Kodaira-Nakano formula for Hermitian metrics, the author finds a formula for the dimensions of the vector spaces on each page of the Frölicher spectral sequence in terms of of the number of small eigenvalues of the rescaled Laplacian. This formula is of independent interest, and is inspired by the analogous result for foliations proven in [\textit{J. A. Álvarez López} and \textit{Y. A. Kordyukov}, Geom. Funct. Anal. 10, No. 5, 977--1027 (2000; Zbl 0965.57024)].
