Abstract

Let \((M,J,g,\omega )\) be a complete Hermitian manifold of complex dimension \(n\ge 2\). Let \(1\le p\le n-1\) and assume that \(\omega ^{n-p}\) is \((\partial +\overline{\partial })\)-bounded. We prove that, if \(\psi \) is an \(L^2\) and d-closed (p, 0)-form on M, then \(\psi =0\). In particular, if M is compact, we derive that if the Aeppli class of \(\omega ^{n-p}\) vanishes, then \(H^{p,0}_{BC}(M)=0\). As a special case, if M admits a Gauduchon metric \(\omega \) such that the Aeppli class of \(\omega ^{n-1}\) vanishes, then \(H^{1,0}_{BC}(M)=0\).
