Complex geometry is the study of complex manifolds, complex algebraic varieties, complex analytic spaces, and, by extension, of almost complex structures. It is a part of differential geometry, algebraic geometry and analytic geometry.

For compact complex surfaces $h^{1,0}$ is either $h^{0,1}$ or $h^{0,1} - 1$. Do we need to u...

In the Wikipedia article on the Enriques-Kodaira classification, before the classification itself, the following sentence appears: For compact complex surfaces $h^{1,0}$ is either $h^{0,1}$ or $h^ …

Decomposition of hermitian form used in the definition of Griffiths/Nakano positivity

Let $E$ be a hermitian holomorphic vector bundle over a complex manifold $X$. Then $\Theta(E)$, the curvature of $E$, is a section of $\bigwedge^{1,1}X\otimes\operatorname{End}(E)$. However, we have t …

Local expression involved in the definition of positivity of vector bundles

This is question follows on from this one. In the linked question, the hermitian form $\theta_E$ on $T^{1,0}X\otimes E$ is defined globally as $$\theta_E(v\otimes\sigma,v\otimes\sigma):=h(i\Theta_E(v …

Alternative Almost Complex Structures

Originally posted on Maths Stack Exchange. Let $V$ be a real vector space. An almost complex structure on $V$ is a map $J : V \to V$ such that $J^2 = -\mathrm{id}_V$. An almost complex structure give …

Three-dimensional compact Kähler manifolds

Consider the problem of trying to identify which $n$-dimensional compact complex manifolds can be endowed with a Kähler metric. $\underline{n = 1}:$ Any hermitian metric on a Riemann surface is a Käh …

How much algebraic geometry do I need to study complex geometry?

As one can deduce from the questions I have asked on MO, I'm interested in complex geometry. I am aware that there are many facets to the field, some of which I am more comfortable with than others. T …

Examples of compact complex non-Kähler manifolds which satisfy $h^{p,q} = h^{q,p}$

The existence of a Kähler metric on a compact complex manifold $X$ imposes restrictions on it's Dolbeault cohomology; namely, $h^{p,q}(X) = h^{q,p}(X)$ for every $p$ and $q$. I am looking for some exp …

If $L$ is positive, $E\otimes L^k$ is Nakano positive for some $k$

I'm trying to prove the following: Let $L$ be a positive holomorphic line bundle on a compact complex manifold $X$. For any hermitian holomorphic vector bundle $E$ on $X$, there is $k \in \mathbb{ …

Does equality of Laplacians imply Kähler?

This question follows on from this one. Let $(X, \omega)$ be a Hermitian manifold and define the Laplacians $\Delta_{\partial} = \partial\partial^* + \partial^*\partial$ and $\Delta_{\bar{\partial}} …

Riemannian metrics as sections of a vector bundle

Let $\pi \colon E \to M$ be a smooth vector bundle. A Riemannian metric on $E$ can be regarded as a global section of the vector bundle $(E\otimes E)^{\ast}$, or more specifically, the subbundle $(S^2 …

Does every group arise as the fundamental group of a complete Kähler manifold?

The fundamental group of a manifold is countable, and every countable group $G$ arises as the fundamental group of a (smooth) manifold; see this comment or this answer for a construction of an open su …
