 Calabi-Yau threefold

Here a Calabi-Yau threefold is a compact complex three-dimensional Kähler manifold with trivial canonical bundle and $H^1(M,\mathbb{C})=0$. The Hodge decomposition theorem for compact Kähler manifolds gives $H^1(M,{\mathcal{O}}_M)=0$, and Serre duality for compact complex manifolds then gives $H^2(M,{\mathcal{O}}_M)=0$. This supplies a positive integral Kähler class and hence a projective embedding.
