Topology versus Chern Numbers for Complex 3-Folds

Algebraic Geometry 2007-05-23 v1 Differential Geometry

Abstract

We show by example that the Chern numbers c_1^3 and c_1 c_2 of a complex 3-fold are not determined by the topology of the underlying smooth compact 6-manifold. In fact, we observe that infinitely many different values of a Chern number can be achieved by (integrable) complex structures on a fixed 6-manifold.
