Hodge decomposition for Kato manifolds

Abstract

We prove that any Kato manifold satisfies the Hodge decomposition, in the sense that $b_k=\sum_{p+q=k}h^{p, q}$, by relating its cohomology to the corresponding cohomology of its modification data. We give, therefore, more evidence supporting a conjecture of Ornea--Verbitsky stating that compact locally conformally K\"ahler manifolds satisfy the Hodge decomposition. We further study Bott--Chern and Aeppli cohomology of Kato manifolds, showing that in certain degrees they coincide with Dolbeault cohomology.
