On non-Kähler compact complex manifolds with balanced and astheno-Kähler metrics (Q501892)

Let \(M\) be a compact complex manifold of complex dimension \(n\), and let \(\Omega\) be the fundamental form of a Hermitian metric \(g\) on \(M\). The metric metric \(g\) is called balanced if the Lee form vanishes, i.e., if the form \(\Omega^{n-1}\) is closed. If \( \partial \overline \partial \Omega^{n-2}= 0,\) then the Hermitian metric \(g\) is said to be astheno-Kähler. Let \(k\) be an integer such that \(1 \leq k \leq n -1,\) a Hermitian metric \(g\) on \(M\) is called \(k\)-th Gauduchon if \(\partial \overline \partial f^{k} \wedge \Omega^{n-k-1} = 0.\) This paper is motivated by a question in the paper [``Gauduchon metrics with prescribed volume form'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:1503.04491}] by \textit{G. Székelyhidi, V. Tosatti} and \textit{B. Weinkove} about the existence of examples of non-Kähler compact complex manifolds admitting both balanced and astheno-Kähler metrics. Two examples, in complex dimensions 4 and 11, have been constructed by \textit{A. Fino, G. Grantcharov} and \textit{L. Vezzoni} in the paper [``Astheno-Kähler and balanced structures on fibrations'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:1608.06743}]. In the paper under review the authors construct, for every \(n\geq 4,\) a non-Kähler compact complex manifold of complex dimension \(n\) admitting a balanced metric and an astheno-Kähler metric, which is in addition \(k\)-th Gauduchon for any \(1\leq k\leq n-1\).
