It was proposed in the works of Clemens, Reid, Friedman to connect Calabi-Yau threefolds with different topologies by a process which degenerates 2-cycles and introduces new 3-cycles.
This operation may produce a non-Kahler complex manifold with trivial canonical bundle. In this talk, we will discuss the geometrization of this process by special non-Kahler metrics. This is joint work with T.C. Collins and S.-T. Yau.
