Quantitative and qualitative cohomological properties for non-K\"ahler manifolds

We introduce a “qualitative property” for Bott-Chern cohomology of complex non-K"ahler manifolds, which is motivated in view of the study of the algebraic structure of Bott-Chern cohomology. We prove that such a property characterizes the validity of the $\mathrm{\partial }\bar{\mathrm{\partial }}$-Lemma. This follows from a quantitative study of Bott-Chern cohomology. In this context, we also prove a new bound on the dimension of the Bott-Chern cohomology in terms of the Hodge numbers. We also give a generalization of this upper bound, with applications to symplectic cohomologies.
