Does every group arise as the fundamental group of a complete Kähler manifold?

Any Stein manifold admits a complete Kähler metric. Start with a connected real analytic manifold with the given fundamental group. A suitable tubular neighbourhood of the complexification will be St …

Hartogs' theorem for real-analytic subvarieties

The answer to your question is yes. It is enough to have the $2n-2$ dimensional Hausdorff measure of $X$ be zero and $X$ is closed. See the book of E. M. Chirka Complex Analytic Sets, page 298 proposi …

A geometric characterization of smooth points of a complex algebraic variety

The answer to all three of your questions is yes.See the book by E M Chirka titled Complex Analytic Sets pages 189,190 and 120 .These questions are local so this is true on Kahler manifolds .

Is there a divisor in $\mathbb P^2$ such that all analytic maps into its complement algebraize?

On page 73 of Kobayashi's book Hyperbolic Complex spaces he shows that if D is a certain configuration of 6 lines in the plane then its complement is complete hyperbolic and hyperbolically embedded i …

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

If in addition you assume that your domain is pseudoconvex then by a theorem of A.Aeppli what you want is true.The paper is titled :On the cohomology structure of Stein manifolds 1965 (Proc.Conf.Comp …

Connectedness of boundary of a Stein domain

This is a consequence of the fact that any Stein manifold with complex dimension at least 2 has one end. This follows from Hartogs extension across compact sets in Stein manifolds. You can find a proo …

Is hyperbolicity a Zariski open condition?

Yes,Hyperbolicity is an open condition .You can find it in Brody's paper in Trans Amer Math Soc vol235 1978 page 216 . A more general statement can be found in Kobayashi's book Hyperbolic Complex Spac …

The Levi form of the distance squared function in a non-positively curved Kaehler manifold

By the Hessian comparison theorem the square of the distance function on X is strictly convex. On Kahler manifolds strictly convex functions are strictly plurisubharmonic .By Grauert's solution of th …

Does there exists a complete Kahler metric with positive scalar curvature on Poincare disk?

The answer to your question is no.In case of surfaces the scalar curvature and Ricci curvature coincide with Gauss curvature. If an n dimensional M had a complete Riemannian metric h with nonnegative …
