Logarithmic deformations of normal crossing varieties, and smoothing of degenerate Calabi-Yau varieties (after Kawamata-Namikawa).


Abstract: An exposition of Kawamata's and Namikawa's paper, by the same title, which uses the T^1-lifting criterion for unobstructedness of deformations, in order to prove the existence of smoothing by deformations of normal crossing Calabi-Yau varieties.
