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.

the central issues in complex geometry

There also problems along the lines of proving L2 extension theorems for vector valued forms (there are such theorems already like the Ohsawa-Takegoshi extension theorem however, that applies to (n,1) …

Quillen metric definition

I am confused as to why a regularised determinant is used in the definition of Quillen's metric on the determinant line bundle defined over the space of $\bar{\partial}$ operators on a (hermitian) vec …

Branched covers of compact Riemann surfaces

Let $S$ be a compact R.S of genus $\geq 2$. In the paper "Stable and unitary vector bundles on compact Riemann surfaces" (by Narasimhan and Seshadri), they claim that there is a branched covering map …

Equivariant Kodaira embedding

Suppose $X$ is a compact complex manifold acted upon by biholomorphisms by a complex Lie group. Suppose $L$ is an equivariant line bundle which is also ample (in the sense that it admits an equivarian …

Why only the first two Chern classes in the BMY and KL inequalities?

The Bogomolov-Miyaoka-Yau inequality for compact complex manifolds with ample canonical bundle and the Kobayashi-Lubke inequality for holomorphic stable vector bundles involve the first two Chern clas …

A non-elliptic PDE

I wish to know if this PDE can be solved (for a real smooth function $\rho$) on a compact complex surface X : $\bar{\partial}\partial \rho \wedge \bar{\partial}\partial \rho + \bar{\partial}\partial …

An example of a complex manifold without a finite open cover

Are there non-compact complex manifolds that a) Don't embed in C^n (holomorphically) and b) Cannot be covered by a finite number of coordinate open sets? If b) can be satisfied, then I think so can a) …

Atiyah-Bott Yang-Mills connections

In Atiyah-Bott's paper on Yang-Mills equations on Riemann surfaces, a special case of what they do is to prove that Unitary Yang-Mills connections over a R.S $M$ are in bijective correspondence with u …

Holomorphic h-principle for compact manifolds

The Oka principle for Stein manifolds says (roughly) that the only obstructions for "things" are topological obstructions (for instance every smooth complex vector bundle admits a holomorphic structur …

Number of semistable subbundles of a semistable bundle

Is the following true ? If so, is there a quick proof of it ? (Perhaps using the uniqueness of the graded object associated to a Jordan-Holder filtration or maybe otherwise) Suppose $E$ is an $\omega …

Is every curve on a projective three-fold a homology-theoretic complete intersection of sorts?

Let $C$ be a curve on a smooth projective three-fold $M$ equipped with the restriction of the Fubini-Study metric $\omega$. I'd like to know if there exists a surface $S$ such that for every closed $( …

Chern classes generating cohomology

The fact that Chern classes are Hodge classes (and are rational combinations of algebraic cycles) is a part of the proof of the "Gauss Bonnet theorem" (as given in Griffiths and Harris). So my questio …

Trying to read the section on Poincare duality from Griffiths and Harris is a nightmare. I want to know if there is a place where Poincare duality and intersection theory are done cleanly and rigorous …

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

Question. Is every $(p, \, p)$ closed form ($p\geq1$) in a contractible open set of $\mathbb{C}^n$ $\partial \bar{\partial}$ exact? We know that every $d$-exact $(p, \,p)$-form on a compact Kahl …

A (non-Kahler) metric on projectivised vector bundles

Given a hermitian holomorphic vector bundle (E, h) on a complex manifold-with-a-metric (X,g), then consider the following (natural) construction of a metric on the total space of $\mathbb{P}(E)$ : Fir …
