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.

Dolbeault Cohomology of $\mathbb{P}^1$

I wrote a blog post about almost exactly this question. I'll give a summary here: Since $H^{1,1}(X)$ is one dimensional, I could answer your question by giving anythng with the correct integral. Howe …

Are all holomorphic vector bundles on a contractible complex manifold trivial?

No, even for line bundles. We have the short exact sequence of sheaves $$0 \to \underline{\mathbb{Z}} \overset{2 \pi i}{\longrightarrow} \mathcal{O} \overset{\exp}{\longrightarrow} \mathcal{O}^{\ast} …

Do some kind of maximum principle exist on complex manifold?

If $f_1$, $f_2$, ..., $f_n$ are holomorhic functions on an open set $U$ in $\mathbb{C}^k$, then $\sum_{i=1}^n |f_i|^2$ has no local maximum. Since complex manifolds are locally $\mathbb{C}^k$, this is …

Alternative construction of the first Chern class map

$\def\cO{\mathcal{O}}\def\CC{\mathbb{C}}\def\ZZ{\mathbb{Z}}$Yes, this is right. This answer will prove the equality of three maps $H^1(\cO^{\ast}) \to H^2(\CC)$. (a) The map $$H^1(\cO^{\ast}) \overs …

Bounding the value of a polynomial map by the distance from the variety

Here is a counter-example. Take $$f(x,y) = (x(1-x),xy-1)$$ So $Z = \{ (1,1) \}$. Consider now consider the family $(1/R,R)$ as $R \to \infty$. The distance from $(1/R,R)$ to $(1,1)$ goes to $\infty$, …

Divisors, extensions of functions

There is another very nice theorem: if $K \subset \mathbb{C}^n$ has complex codimension $ \geq 2$ (real codimension $\geq 4$), and $f$ is an analytic function on $\mathbb{C}^n \setminus K$, then $f$ e …

Logarithm of complex matrices in holomorphic families

It might be worth mentioning that there is an analogous problem with $C^{\infty}$ functions, even when all the matrices are diagonalizable. Let $$F(x,y) = \begin{pmatrix} e^{ix} & 0 \\ 0 & e^{-ix} \ …

Is $\mathbb{C}[x^{\pm 1},y]/\langle y^3-(x^2+ax+b) \rangle$ a $n$-point ring?

No (assuming that $a^2 \neq 4b$, so the quadratic is not a square). In fact, the fields $\mathrm{Frac}(R)$ and $\mathbb{C}(t)$ are not isomorphic. From a sophisticated perspective, the point is that t …

Are holomorphic vector bundles over Kähler manifolds Kähler

Proposition 3.18 of Voisin's Hodge Theory and Complex Algebraic Geometry I says that, if $X$ is compact Kahler and $E$ is a holomorphic vector bundle over $X$, then $\mathbb{P}(E)$ is Kahler. Since $E …

Rational functions on reduced complex varieties that extend to global holomorphic functions

The answer is yes. Ariyan Javanpeykar has contributed the hard part; here are the easy parts. Let $\tilde{A}$ be the integral closure of $A$ in $\mathrm{Frac}(A)$ and let $\tilde{X} = \mathrm{Spec}(\ …

Example of a variety with explicit cohomology ring and Kahler cone

You could look at surfaces with maximal Picard rank. A surface is said to have maximal Picard rank if $H^{1,1}(X) \cap H^1(X, \mathbb{R})$ is spanned by curve classes. So the Kahler cone is the same a …

$\partial \bar{\partial}$ lemma for contractible domains

Okay, here is a counter-example. Let $X$ be the following open subset of $\mathbb{C}^2$: $$X:= \{ (z_1, z_2) : |z_1| < 2,\ |z_2| < 1 \} \cup \{(z_1, z_2): |z_1| < 1,\ |z_2| < 2 \}$$ This is the stand …

Second betti number of compact analytic spaces

$\def\ZZ{\mathbb{Z}}$ Let $X$ be a complete toric variety. I will show that $H^2(X, \mathbb{Z}) \cong A^1(X, \mathbb{Z}) \cong \mathrm{Pic}(X)$. Since there are examples of complete toric $3$-folds wi …

Let $h^{10} = \dim H^0(X, \Omega^1)$, $z^{10} = \dim H^0(X, Z^1)$ where $Z^1$ is the closed holomorphic $1$-forms, $h^{01} = \dim H^1(X, \mathcal{O})$ and $b_1 = \dim H^1(X, \mathbb{C})$. We claim tha …

Complexifications of Real Flags are dense in complex Flag Varieties

$\def\CC{\mathbb{C}}\def\RR{\mathbb{R}}$This yields to a standard lemma: Let $X$ (in your situation, the flag manifold) be a smooth connected complex variety equipped with an anti-holomorphic involuti …
