A special Calabi-Yau degeneration with trivial monodromy

Algebraic Geometry 2018-12-06 v1

Abstract

A well-known theorem of Kulikov, Persson and Pinkham states that a degeneration of a family of K3-surfaces with trivial monodromy can be completed to a smooth family. We give a simple example that an analogous statement does not hold for Calabi-Yau threefolds.
