P.M.H. Wilson has an example of a compact non-Kahler manifold whose canonical ring is not finitely generated; see his article and this MO question. I'm trying to understand his construction and have t …

Let $(X,\omega)$ be a compact Kahler manifold, and let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be smooth $(1,1)$-forms on $X$ that are harmonic (with respect to $\omega$). I can consider each of my $(1,1)$-forms as an a …

Let $X$ be a non-compact complex manifold of dimension at least 2 equipped with a Kahler metric $\omega$. Take a smooth positive function $f : X \to \mathbb R$, and define a new hermitian metric on $X …

If $X$ is a compact Kahler manifold, then Hodge theory says that its cohomology decomposes as a direct sum $$ H^{p+q}(X,\mathbb C) = \bigoplus_{p,q} H^{p,q}(X,\mathbb C) $$ where $H^{p,q}(X,\mathbb …

Let $X$ be a compact complex Kahler manifold with first real Chern class $c_1 = 0$. Consider a family $\pi : \mathcal X \to \Delta$ over the unit disc in $\mathbb C$, where the fibers $X_s$ are compac …

I was reading Yau's list of problems in geometry, and one of them is to prove that any almost complex manifold of complex dimension $n \geq 3$ admits a complex structure. It's been some time since Yau …

I've been thinking about surgery on complex manifolds. Not very seriously, but just to the point that I think it's odd how there's almost no mention of it in the literature. I figure there's something …

Let $X$ be a compact Kahler manifold with $c_1(X) = 0$. Any Kahler metric $\omega$ on $X$ gives a Laplacian $\Delta_\omega$ and the $(1,1)$-form $\omega$ is harmonic with respect to this Laplacian. …

Let $\mathcal X \to S$ be the local universal family of an elliptic curve, and let $E \to S$ be a vector bundle over $S$. Then we can form the fiber product $\mathcal Y = \mathcal X \times_S E$, which …

I have some lecture notes from Demailly on Kahler geometry where he talks about "variétés Kahleriennes simples", which are defined as Kahler manifolds $X$ such that for very generic points $x_0$ in $X …

I'm looking for references on the "algebraic geometry" side of complex analytis, i.e. on complex spaces, morphisms of those spaces, coherent sheaves, flat morphisms, direct image sheaves etc. A textbo …

I'm studying the deformation theory of compact complex manifolds as developed by Kodaira and Spencer. On the side I'm reading as much about deformation theory in general as I can get my hands on (and …

I'm going through a proof of a vanishing theorem by Sommese ($H^{p,q}(X,L) = 0$ for $p+q > n+k$ if $L$ is $k$-ample) and have hit the following brick wall: I've got a complex projective manifold $X$, …
