Abstract

We prove that the tangent and the reflexivized cotangent sheaves of any normal projective klt Calabi–Yau or irreducible holomorphic symplectic variety are not pseudoeffective, generalizing results of A. Höring and T. Peternell [21]. We provide examples of Calabi-Yau varieties of small dimension with singularities in codimension 2.
