On volume preserving complex structures on real tori

A basic problem in the classification theory of compact complex manifolds is to give simple characterizations of complex tori. It is well known that a compact Kähler manifold $X$ homotopically equivalent to a a complex torus is biholomorphic to a complex torus. The question whether a compact complex manifold $X$ diffeomorphic to a complex torus is biholomorphic to a complex torus has a negative answer due to a construction by Blanchard and Sommese. Their examples have however negative Kodaira dimension, thus it makes sense to ask the question whether a compact complex manifold $X$ with trivial canonical bundle which is homotopically equivalent to a complex torus is biholomorphic to a complex torus. In this paper we show that the answer is positive for complex threefolds satisfying some additional condition, such as the existence of a non constant meromorphic function.
