Non-upper-semicontinuity of algebraic dimension for families of compact complex manifolds (Q5962320)

The main result of the paper is the following theorem: Let \(S\) be a half Inoue surface with second Betti number \(m\) and \(C\) the unique twisted anti-canonical curve in it. Let \(G:(J,L)\to T\) be a Kuranishi family of deformations of the pair \((S,C)\) with the base point \(0\in T\), i.e. \((S_0,C_0)= (S,C)\). Then the Kuranishi space \(T\) is smooth of dimension \(m\) and contains a divisor with normal crossings \(A= \bigcup^m_{i=1} A_i\) with \(m\) smooth irreducible components passing through the base point \(0\) such that the following hold: the fiber \(S_t\), \(t\neq 0\), is a blown-up half Inoue surface if \(t\in A\), and is a blown-up elliptic diagonal Hopf surface if \(t\not\in A\). This theorem implies the following corollary: Let \(a_t= a(S_t)\) be the algebraic dimension of \(S_t\). Then \(a_t= 0\) for \(t\in A\) and \(a_t= 1\) for \(t\in A\). I.e., the algebraic dimension jumps downwards at special points.
