Closed 3-forms in five dimensions and embedding problems

Differential Geometry 2022-10-31 v1

Abstract

We consider the question if a five dimensional manifold can be embedded into a Calabi-Yau manifold of complex dimension three such that the real part of the holomorphic volume form induces a given closed 3-form on the 5-manifold. We define an open set of 3-forms in dimension five which we call strongly pseudoconvex, and show that for closed strongly pseudoconvex 3-forms the perturbative version of this embedding problem can be solved if a finite dimensional vector space of obstructions vanishes.
