Abstract

We discuss the Kodaira problem for uniruled Kähler spaces. Building on a construction due to Voisin, we give an example of a uniruled Kähler space $X$ such that every run of the $K_X$-MMP immediately terminates with a Mori fibre space, yet $X$ does not admit an algebraic approximation. Our example also shows that for a Mori fibration, approximability of the base does not imply approximability of the total space.

Keywords

Kähler manifolds, uniruled Kähler spaces, Mori fibrations, algebraic approximation, small projective deformations, locally trivial deformations
