Metric properties of manifolds bimeromorphic to compact Kähler spaces (Q688316)

A complex manifold is balanced if \(M\) has a Hermite metric with Kähler form \(\omega\) such that \(d\omega^{N-1}=0\), \(N=\dim M\). For a generic modification \(f: \widetilde{M}\to M\) the authors prove \[ \text{if } \widetilde{M} \text{ is Kähler, then \(M\) is balanced}.\tag{*} \] To generalize (*) the authors introduce a cohomological condition, called \((B)\), which holds in particular for Kähler manifolds. So they also prove if \(\widetilde{M}\) is balanced and satisfies \((B)\), then \(M\) is balanced and satisfies \((B)\) too. Furthermore every compact complex manifold \(M\) bimeromorphic to a compact Kähler manifold \(M'\) is balanced. The author's techniques based on positive, \(\partial \overline{\partial}\)-closed currents seem to be more appropriate and allow them to assert that every Moishezon manifold carries a balanced metric. It is proved that for every balanced metric \(h\) on \(M\) with Kähler form \(\omega\) there exists a balanced metric \(\widetilde{h}\) on \(\widetilde{M}\) with Kähler form \(\widetilde{\omega}\) such that \(\omega^{N-1}- f_ * \widetilde{\omega}^{N-1}\) is a \(\partial \overline{\partial}\)-exact current. This is a corollary of Theorem: ``Let \(M\) and \(\widetilde{M}\) be \(p\)-Kähler manifolds, let \(f: \widetilde{M} \to M\) be a proper modification and call \(Y\) the degeneracy set, with \(p>\dim Y\). For every \(p\)-Kähler form \(\Omega\) on \(M\), there exists a \(p\)-Kähler form \(\widetilde{\Omega}\) on \(\widetilde{M}\) such that \(\Omega- f_ * \widetilde{\Omega}\) is a \(\partial \overline{\partial}\)- exact current''.
