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.

Is polynomial convexity a topological invariant?

The answer is no. In fact, Kallin has shown in [Kal64] that the union of three disjoint closed balls is polynomially convex, but the union of three disjoint closed polydisks needs not to be polynomi …

Compact complex surface that admits a Kodaira fibration is Kahler

Let $f \colon S \longrightarrow B$ be a Kodaira fibration, and let $F$ be a general fibre. Then by [Kas68, Thm. 1.1] we have $g(B) \geq 2$ and $g(F) \geq 3$. In particular, $S$ contains no rational …

Must an algebraic variety with trivial tangent bundle be an abelian variety?

More generally, in the complex case the following result holds. Theorem. Let $X$ be a compact Kähler manifold which is complex parallelisable, i.e. such that $T_X$ is holomorphically trivial. …

Is a holomorphic family whose fibers are all smooth locally trivial?

By Grauert-Fischer Theorem, a smooth family of compact complex manifold is locally trivial if and only if all the fibers are analytically isomorphic. However, there exist smooth families $\pi \colon …

Deformations of Kähler manifolds where Hodge decomposition fails?

If any example exists, then the general fibre of the family cannot be projective. In fact, Dan Popovici ["Limits of projective manifolds under holomorphic deformations", arXiv.09102032] recently pro …

The asymptotic growth of global sections of powers of a complex line bundle

Actually, it is possible to prove the following statement. Set $$\mathbb{N}(L, X):=\{a > 0 \ | \ h^0(X, aL) \geq 1 \}$$ and let $d$ be the largest common divisor of the elements of $\mathbb{N}(L, X …

Existence of nodal curves in a linear system

When $S=\mathbb{P}^2$ and $\mathcal{L}= H= \mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^2}(1)$, this question is discussed in Sernesi's book Deformation of Algebraic schemes, Chapter 4. In particular Corollary 4.7.19 page …

Lifting property for proper morphism

Regarding your general question, the answer is no. Take any hyperbolic projective variety $Y$ (for instance, a ball quotient) of dimension $n$, and project it generically onto $\mathbb{P}^n$. Removing …

Restricting a non-constant map to an ample divisor

This is a partial answer, too long to be a comment. Let me give a family of examples where $D$ can be found (every effective divisor $D$ works, actually). Take any smooth, projective variety $X$ admit …

Lifting a birational map of $X/G$ to a birational map of $X$?

It seems to me that the answer is no even if the action of $G$ is free. In fact, assume that $G$ acts freely and set $Y:= X/G$. Let $f \colon Y \to Y$ be an automorphism and $f_* \colon \pi_1(Y) \to …

Kähler metric on projectivised bundle

As pointed out by Georges Elencwajg, the answer is yes. However, if one substitutes the assumption "holomorphic vector bundle" with the weaker "complex vector bundle", the answer is no. In fact, th …

Kähler metric on a Zariski open subset of a non-Kähler manifold

One can consider the following example. A Moishezon manifold $M$ is a compact connected complex manifold such that the field of meromorphic functions on $M$ has transcendence degree equal to the compl …

Hypersurface of complex projective space

As noticed by Sasha in his comment, the answer is no. The following proof also shows that this result cannot be generalized for higher values of the degree. For any smooth complex hypersurface of d …
