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^*_{...

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. A complex torus is algebraic ...

Defining algebraic manifold without referring to schemes

Let $M$ be a complex manifold admitting an atlas with each chart biholomorphic to $\mathbb{C}^n$ and transition maps being rational functions. Is it true that there exists a smooth integral ...
