Blowing up generalized Kähler 4-manifolds

Abstract

We show that the blow-up of a generalized Kähler 4-manifold in a nondegenerate complex point admits a generalized Kähler metric. As with the blow-up of complex surfaces, this metric may be chosen to coincide with the original outside a tubular neighbourhood of the exceptional divisor. To accomplish this, we develop a blow-up operation for bi-Hermitian manifolds
