Let M be a compact complex n-manifold. A Gauduchon metric is a Hermitian metric whose fundamental 2-form ω satisfies the equation ddc(ωn-1)=0. Paul Gauduchon has proven that any Hermitian metric is conformally equivalent to a Gauduchon metric, which is unique (up to a constant multiplier) in its conformal class. Then dc(ωn-1) is a closed (2n-1)-form; the set of cohomology classes of all such forms, called the Lee-Gauduchon cone, is a convex cone, superficially similar to the Kahler cone. We prove that the Lee-Gauduchon cone is a bimeromorphic invariant, and compute it for several classes of non-Kahler manifolds.
