Abstract

We study compact locally conformally K\"ahler (lcK) manifolds which are Calabi--Yau, in the sense that c1BC(X)=0c_1^{BC}(X)=0. First of all, we prove that all the known lcK manifolds which are Calabi--Yau are Vaisman. Then we prove that an lcK Chern--Ricci flat metric that is Gauduchon is necessarily Vaisman. Finally, specializing to Calabi--Yau solvmanifolds with left-invariant complex structure, we prove that a left-invariant metric is lcK if and only if it is Vaisman. Therefore, they are finite quotients of the Kodaira manifold.
