Jan 28, 2020 at 15:55 comment added Dan Fox The deformation theory of Stein spaces in the sense of Cieliebak/Eliashberg is a sort of extension of the classical theory of Stein manifolds in a direction inspired by symplectic topology rather than algebraic geometry.

Dec 16, 2018 at 15:19 comment added Bananeen @BenMcKay, yes I mainly meant this second direction.
Dec 16, 2018 at 15:17 comment added Ben McKay I would like to be clearer about whether "complex geometry" is meant to include Kaehler geometry (which is intensely active and in white heat around Siu and Demailly and many others) or do we mean the story of Grauert, Remmert, Stein, Cartan, Douady and others of Stein spaces and the construction of a kind of SCV analogue of algebraic geometry for complex spaces? I see this second direction as relatively cool at the moment, and I would agree that I don't know why.

Dec 16, 2018 at 1:33 comment added Jason Starr What possible purpose can it serve for you to ask whether "complex-analytic geometry became a much less active field"? If there is a beautiful problem in complex analysis that you would like to solve, I recommend that you learn about that and work on that regardless of questions like this one.
Dec 16, 2018 at 0:03 comment added Sam Hopkins Isn’t Kahler geometry a large and active area, a part of complex geometry but outside of algebraic geometry?

Dec 15, 2018 at 23:45 comment added Bananeen @JasonStarr, oh, ok, didn't know about the Quot scheme, I will edit it out. But what about the post itself, do you disagree that complex-analytic geometry became a much less active field?

Dec 15, 2018 at 21:57 comment added Donu Arapura I suspect the reasons for the shift are more sociological than mathematical.
Dec 15, 2018 at 19:59 comment added Jason Starr There are Quot spaces in the complex analytic setting. This is a consequence of Douady spaces.
