Infinitesimal Deformations and Brauer Group of Some Generalized Calabi--Eckmann Manifolds

Abstract

Let $X$ be a compact connected Riemann surface. Let $\xi_1: E_1\longrightarrow X$ and $\xi_2: E_2\,\longrightarrow X$ be holomorphic vector bundles of rank at least two. Given these together with a $\lambda \in {\mathbb C}$ with positive imaginary part, we construct a holomorphic fiber bundle $S^{\xi_1,\xi_2}_{\lambda}$ over $X$ whose fibers are the Calabi--Eckmann manifolds. We compute the Picard group of the total space of $S^{\xi_1,\xi_2}_{\lambda}$. We also compute the infinitesimal deformations of the total space of $S^{\xi_1,\xi_2}_{\lambda}$. The cohomological Brauer group of $S^{\xi_1,\xi_2}_{\lambda}$ is shown to be zero. In particular, the Brauer group of $S^{\xi_1,\xi_2}_{\lambda}$ vanishes.
