TL;DR
The paper proves that the deformation limit of Moishezon manifolds under a smooth deformation over a unit disk is Moishezon, resolving a central conjecture. The authors develop a framework combining Bott–Chern cohomology, Kodaira–Spencer theory, Gauduchon metrics, and Barlet’s theory of relative cycle spaces to construct a global object controlling $(n-1)$-cycles across the family and to extend a good filling from the punctured disk to the whole base. This leads to a semi-continuity result for the algebraic dimension in smooth families and yields applications including deformation-invariance of plurigenera and the pseudo-projective structure of families with many Moishezon fibers. The work extends prior results of Popovici, Barlet, and Rao–Tsai, and provides a robust mechanism to analyze Moishezon-ness in higher dimensions via cycle-space methods and cohomological control.
Abstract
We prove the conjecture that the deformation limit of Moishezon manifolds under a smooth deformation over a unit disk in $\mathbb{C}$ is Moishezon.
