Elliptic 3-folds and non-Kähler 3-folds (Q2367105)

The aim of this paper is to prove the following fact: Let \(X\) be a Calabi-Yau 3-fold which has an elliptic fibration with a rational section, then the bimeromorphic class of \(X\) is obtained as a semistable degeneration of a compact non-Kähler 3-fold with \(K=0\), \(b_ 2=q=0\). This result extends a similar one, due to Friedman, for a Calabi-Yau 3- fold with sufficiently many \((-1,-1)\)-curves on it. The proof uses the fact that such a 3-fold \(X\) is birationally equivalent to a Weierstrass model with only canonical singularities and it is based on a detailed study of their resolutions.
