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.

Griffiths and Harris reference
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 …

Relationship between the Radon transform and Twistor spaces
I have often heard that the theory of Twistor spaces is ``a complex analogue" of the Radon transform. What is the precise connection ?

What is a Futaki invariant, what is the intuition behind it, and why is it important?
The Futaki invariant $F(X,[\omega])$ is a quantity that needs two pieces of information on a compact complex manifold $M$.
1) A Kahler class $[\omega]$
2) A holomorphic vector field $X$.
It is an …

$\partial \bar{\partial}$ 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 …

Local meaning of the Pfaffian of the curvature
The Ricci and scalar curvatures have very nice pointwise interpretations (using the local expression for the volume form for example). So, (at least Ricci) having special metrics (like Einstein) can p …

Vector bundles on Stein manifolds
This might be standard if true (if so, I shall be grateful if provided with a reference). Given a smooth map from a Stein manifold $X$ to $\operatorname{Gr}(k,n)$ (the Grassmannian of $k$ planes in $\ …

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) …

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 …

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 …

$L^p$ stability of the Beltrami equation
Let's assume that $f$ is a quasiconformal homeomorphism of $\mathbb{C}$ with Beltrami coefficient $\mu = \frac{\bar{\partial} f}{\partial f}$. Notice that by definition $\Vert \mu \Vert _{L^{\infty}} …

Examples of surfaces with negative Kahler curvature operator
Compact ball quotients are examples of compact Kahler surfaces with negative curvature operator.
Are there any other examples ? What about nonpositive (other than the product of two Riemann surfaces …

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 …

Chern-Weil theory for coherent subsheaves
If $(E,h)$ is a holomorphic vector bundle over a compact complex manifold $M$ (which is a projective variety), and $S$ is a coherent subsheaf of $M$, then $S$ is secretly a holomorphic vector bundle o …
