TL;DR
The paper addresses solving a logarithmic $\bar{\partial}$-equation on a compact Kähler manifold with a smooth divisor $D$ by employing a cyclic covering trick to transfer the problem to a cover where harmonic theory applies. It proves that for any $\alpha$ with $\bar{\partial}\partial\alpha=0$, there exists $x$ solving $\bar{\partial}x=\partial\alpha$, and then derives multiple powerful consequences in the logarithmic setting. These include the closedness of logarithmic forms, an injectivity theorem, $E_1$-degeneration of the logarithmic Frölicher spectral sequence, and unobstructed logarithmic deformations for $D\in|-2K_X|$. The results provide analytic foundations for degeneration and deformation theory in logarithmic geometry on Kähler manifolds and motivate a conjecture for extending to simple normal crossing divisors with weighted line bundles.
Abstract
In this paper, we solve a logarithmic $\bar{\partial}$-equation on a compact Kähler manifold associated to a smooth divisor by using the cyclic covering trick. As applications, we discuss the closedness of logarithmic forms, injectivity theorems and obtain a kind of degeneration of spectral sequence at $E_1$, and we also prove that the pair $(X,D)$ has unobstructed deformations for any smooth divisor $D\in|-2K_X|$.
