Is there a compact complex manifold with $b_1(X)=b_2(X)=b_3(X)=b_4(X)=0$?

As the title suggests, I have the following question: Is there a compact complex manifold with $b_1(X)=b_2(X)=b_3(X)=b_4(X)=0$? Clarification: Denote by $b_k$ the $k$th Betti number of a compact ...

Are Lefschetz thimbles holomorphic manifolds?

I have a Lefschetz thimble defined by the stable flow of the gradient a holomorphic function toward a critical point (as defined e.g. in Witten arXiv:1001.2933 and F.Pham "Vanishing homologies and the ...
