Abstract

We study the class of compact complex manifolds whose first Chern class vanishes in the Bott-Chern cohomology. This class includes all manifolds with torsion canonical bundle, but it is strictly larger. After making some elementary remarks, we show that a manifold in Fujiki’s class C with vanishing first Bott-Chern class has torsion canonical bundle. We also give some examples of non-Kähler Calabi-Yau manifolds, and discuss the problem of defining and constructing canonical metrics on them.
