Abstract: We show that the property of existence of solution to the Strominger system in dimension six is neither open nor closed under holomorphic deformations of the complex structure. These results are obtained both in the case of positive slope parameter as well as in the case of negative slope parameter in the anomaly cancellation equation.

Review text

Let \(X\) be a compact complex manifold with holomorphically trivial canonical bundle. The existence of a ``canonical Hermitian metric on \(X\) is obtained if there exists a solution for the so-called Strominger system. For instance, if \(X\) is Kähler Calabi-Yau, this system has a solution. It is known that there are non-Kähler manifolds which are solutions of the Strominger system [\textit{J. Li} and \textit{S. Yau}, J. Differ. Geom. 70, No. 1, 143--181 (2005; Zbl 1102.53052)]. If the Strominger system has solution for \(X\), then this manifold is said to have the \textit{Strominger property}. (So, by the above, Kähler Calabi-Yau manifolds have the Strominger property). In this paper the authors prove that the Strominger property is not stable, meaning that such a property may be lost under holomorphic deformations.
