Balanced manifolds and the $dd^c$-lemma

Let $X$ be a compact complex manifold. A Hermitian metric $\omega$ is balanced if $d\omega^{n-1}=0$, where $n=\dim_{\mathbf{C}} X$. By a theorem of Alessandrini-Basanelli, this class of Hermitian mani …

Examples of compact non-Kähler complex manifolds with Kodaira dimension zero

Let $X$ be a minimal compact non-Kähler complex manifold. Suppose that Kodaira dimension $\kappa(X)=0$. Is there a known example where the canonical bundle is not holomorphically torsion? For minima …

Do non-projective K3 surfaces have rational curves?

Define a compact Kähler surface $X$ to be a K3 surface if $X$ is simply connected, $K_X \simeq \mathcal{O}_X$, and $h^{0,1}=0$. If $X$ is projective, then a theorem typically attributed to Bogomolov a …

Representing homotopy classes of Kähler manifolds by harmonic maps

Let $(M,g_M)$ be a compact Kähler manifold with negative bisectional curvature. Let $\alpha : (S,g_S) \to M$ be a continuous map from a compact Riemannian manifold $(S,g_S)$. Is $\alpha$ homotopic to …

Examples of compact Kähler manifolds whose Bochner curvature tensor has constant norm?

The Bochner curvature tensor is the Kähler analog of the Weyl curvature tensor in the curvature decomposition of a Kähler, discovered by Bochner in 1949. The article on Bochner-Kähler metrics by Rober …

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 com …

How many ways are there to characterise $\mathbb{P}^n$?

Let $\mathbb{P}^n$ denote the complex projective space of dimension $n$. In many respects, this is the model of (positivity in) complex geometry. There are some well-known characterisations of $\mathb …

What is the geometric meaning of $H^2(X, \mathscr{O}_X)$?

Let $X$ be a compact complex manifold with structure sheaf $\mathscr{O}_X$ (the sheaf of holomorphic functions on $X$). What is the geometric meaning (if any) of $H^2(X, \mathscr{O}_X)$? In the comm …

The Kodaira embedding theorem yields as a corollary that a compact Kähler manifold $X$ with $h^{2,0} =0$ is projective. Is there a weaker relation on Hodge numbers that implies that a compact Kähler m …
