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.

How would a topologist explain "every Riemann surface of genus $g$ is hyperelliptic if and o...
A 19th century topologist would explain this by dimension count. By Riemann-Hurwitz, a surface of genus $g$ covering the sphere
with $2$ sheets has $2g+2$ ramification points which gives $2g-1$ free c …

Poincaré metric on the Riemann sphere minus more than two points
Yes. The density of the Poincare metric with respect to the spherical metric is
a positive continuous function which tends to infinity at the punctures. Thus it
is bounded from below by some positive …

Embed a bordered Riemann surface into punctured Riemann surfaces?
The answer is no. For $g=0$, the problem is equivalent to the following: is there a univalent function in the unit disk which takes given values at finitely many given points. It is well known that th …

Interesting results for open Riemann surfaces
The results on open Riemann surfaces are not "rare". They are just well forgotten.
I only list a few books which deal with open Riemann surfaces:

Are real-analytic functions in $\mathbb{R}^2$ holomorphic after suitable change of coordinates?
The answer is negative. For the non-injective case, the reason is that non-constant complex analytic functions are open, discrete maps, while real analytic functions can be neither open nor discrete ( …

A harmonic function
Yes, it can be found explicitly, though not in elementary functions but in terms of a combination of elementary and hypergeometric functions.
The problem is (almost) equivalent to finding a conformal …

Gluing Riemann surfaces
The answer to the first question is "yes". This is called conformal gluing, and the proof is based on the following lemma due to Lavrentiev: Let $\phi$ be an increasing diffeomorphism of $[-1,1]$ onto …

Universal covering map from $\mathcal{H}$ to $\mathbb{C}\setminus \mathbb{Z}\oplus i\mathbb{...
On the first question (the universal cover of the complement of a lattice). The missing points are in the image, so it is not the map that "behaves" but the inverse map.
The inverse map behaves in a v …

The holomorphic version of Galois theory
The thing you are asking was much studied in connection with Hilbert Problem 13.

why do we need to study entire curves?
A good reference is S. Lang, Introduction to complex hyperbolic geometry.
Shortly, I can give the following reasons. Listed in historical order.
There are famous Picard theorems about entire curves …
