Existence will hopefully be dealt with in future work. The aim is to construct a special Gauduchon metric uniquely associated with any Aeppli cohomology class of bidegree $(n-1,\\,n-1)$ lying in the Gauduchon cone of $X$ that we hereby introduce as a subset of the real Aeppli cohomology group of type $(n-1,\\,n-1)$ and whose first properties we study. Two directions for applications of this new equation are envisaged: to moduli spaces of Calabi-Yau $\\partial\\bar\\partial$-manifolds and to a further study of the deformation properties of the Gauduchon cone beyond those given in this paper.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-10-14T13:45:25.000Z", "comment": "37 pages", "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v2", "updated": "2015-05-13T17:45:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "compact complex manifold", "aeppli cohomology classes", "gauduchon metric", "real aeppli cohomology group", "gauduchon cone" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 37, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1310.3685P" } } }
