The main idea is to introduce a Laplace-type operator associated with a given Hermitian metric on $X$ whose kernel in every bidegree $(p,\\,q)$ is isomorphic to $E_2^{p,\\,q}$ in either of the two situations discussed. The surprising aspect is that this operator is not a differential operator since it involves a harmonic projection, although it depends on certain differential operators. We then use this Hodge isomorphism for $E_2^{p,\\,q}$ to give sufficient conditions for the degeneration at $E_2$ of the spectral sequence considered in each of the two cases in terms of the existence of certain metrics on $X$. For example, in the Fr\\\"olicher case we prove degeneration at $E_2$ if there exists an SKT metric $\\omega$ (i.e. such that $\\partial\\bar\\partial\\omega=0$) whose torsion is small compared to the spectral gap of the elliptic operator $\\Delta' + \\Delta\"$ defined by $\\omega$. In the foliated case, we obtain degeneration at $E_2$ under a hypothesis involving the Laplacians $\\Delta'_N$ and $\\Delta'_F$ associated with the splitting $\\partial = \\partial_N + \\partial_F$ induced by the foliated structure.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-01-19T03:08:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "spectral sequence", "degeneration", "arbitrary compact complex manifold", "complementary regular holomorphic foliations", "differential operator" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 40, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160104781P" } } }
