Holomorphic deformations of balanced Calabi-Yau $\partial \bar{\partial}$-manifolds (Q2421922)

A compact complex manifold \(X\) is a \(\partial \bar{\partial}\)-manifold if the \(\partial \bar{\partial}\)-lemma holds on \(X\). If, furthermore, the canonical bundle \(K_X\) of \(X\) is trivial, \(X\) is called a Calabi-Yau \(\partial \bar{\partial}\)-manifold. A Hermitian metric \(\omega\) on \(X\) is balanced (semi-Kähler) if d\((\omega ^{n-1})=0\); \(X\) is a balanced manifold if it carries such a metric. For balanced Calabi-Yau \(\partial \bar{\partial}\)-manifolds the author introduces the concept of deformations of \(X\) that are co-polarised by the balanced class \([\omega ^{n-1}]\in H^{n-1,n-1}(X,\mathbb{C})\subset H^{2n-2}(X,\mathbb{C})\). He shows that the resulting theory of balanced co-polarised deformations is a natural extension of the classical theory of Kähler polarised deformations in the context of Calabi-Yau or holomorphic symplectic compact complex manifolds. The concept of Weil-Petersson metric still makes sense in this strictly more general, possibly non-Kähler context, while the Local Torelli Theorem still holds.
