algebraic de Rham cohomology of singular varieties
Hi,
Is there a simple example of an (affine) algebraic variety $X$ over $\mathbb C$ where
the $H^*_{dR}(X/\mathbb C) = H^*(\Omega^\bullet_{A/\mathbb C})$ differs from the singular cohomology $H^*_{...

Topologically contractible algebraic varieties
From a post to The Jouanolou trick:
Are all topologically trivial (contractible) complex algebraic varieties necessarily affine? Are there examples of those not birationally equivalent to an affine ...

Are complex varieties Kahler? - Algebraic, non-projective complex manifolds
Let $X/\mathbb{C}$ a nonsingular proper variety and $X_{an}$ it's associated analytic space. Is $X_{an}$ necessarily Kahler? Certainly we know this if $X$ is projective.
