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.

Negative holomorphic sectional curvature

Let X be a complex hermitian manifold with hermitian form $\omega$. How can you prove that if $\omega$ has negative holomorphic sectional curvature, then its scalar curvature is negative, too?

Bounded non-symmetric domains covering a compact manifold

This question is somewhat related to this other question of mine. I was wondering which are the known examples of bounded domains $\Omega$ in $\mathbb C^n$ admitting a compact free quotient. By a theo …

Relationship between the signs of different notions of curvature in complex geometry

Let $(X,\omega)$ be a complex hermitian manifold, and call $\Theta$ its Chern curvature tensor. Out of this we can consider different notions of curvature, namely the holomorphic bisectional curvature …

Holomorphically convex manifolds and Bergman complete manifolds

Suppose $X$ is a complex manifold which admits the Bergman metric (for definitions, see for instance Kobayashi's book "Hyperbolic Complex Spaces"). Suppose moreover that the Bergman metric of $X$ is c …

Examples of quasi-negative but not negative holomorphic sectional curvature

Let $(X,\omega)$ be a compact Kähler manifold and call $\operatorname{HSC}_{\omega}(x,[v])$ the holomorphic sectional curvature of the Chern connection of $\omega$ at the point $x\in X$ in the directi …

Examples of Brody hyperbolic affine varieties which are not Kobayashi hyperbolic

Let $X$ be a complex space. We say that $X$ is Brody hyperbolic if there is no non-constant holomorphic map $f\colon\mathbb C\to X$. We say that $X$ is Kobayashi hyperbolic if the Kobayashi pseudo …

Non-bimeromorphic compactifications

Let $X$ be a (smooth, non-compact) complex space. By a compactification of $X$ we mean a compact complex space $\overline X$ which contains a dense open subset biholomorphic to $X$ (we shall identify …

Non projective hyperbolic compact complex space

A famous conjecture by Kobayashi (perhaps slightly revisited subsequently) states that every compact hyperbolic Kähler manifold $X$ has ample canonical bundle. This implies in particular that $X$ is …

Deform a compact Kähler manifold to a non Kähler one

Could you give me an example of a compact Kähler manifold which analytically deforms to a non Kähler one? For example, there is no hope to find a complex structure on a Hopf manifold in order to make …

Dolbeault cohomology of complex tori.

Let $T=\mathbb C^n/\Lambda$ a complex torus. It is completely elementary to prove that the de Rham cohomology of $T$ in degree $q$ is isomorphic to the $q$-th exterior power of the dual of $\mathbb C^ …

About the Bloch conjecture on entire curves

The Bloch conjecture states the following: Bloch's conjecture. Let $X$ be a compact complex Kähler variety such that the irregularity $q = h^0(X,\Omega^1_X)$ is larger than the dimension $n = \dim X$ …

Ample vector bundles on complex tori

Let $X$ be a $n$-dimensional complex torus and $\omega$ a Kähler form on $X$. Then, it is well known that a real $(1,1)$-class $[\alpha]\in H^{1,1}(X,\mathbb R)$ is a Kähler class if and only if for a …

Blowing-up an ordinary double point, then contracting the exceptional locus to a curve

Let $X\subset\mathbb P^4$ a projective hypersurface with an ordinary double point at $o\in X$. Blow-up $\mathbb P^4$ at $o$ and let $E\simeq\mathbb P^3$ the exceptional divisor of this blow-up. Consi …

Uniformity of injectivity for maps associated to linear systems

Let $X$ be a compact complex manifold and $L\to X$ a holomorphic line bundle (without any a priori assumption on its positivity). Suppose that for each $x,y\in X$, with $x\ne y$, there exists a $k_0 …

Rational or elliptic curves on Calabi-Yau threefolds

Let $X$ be a Calabi-Yau threefold. From a complex analytic point of view, it is widely believed that it should not be Kobayashi hyperbolic, that is it should always admit some non-constant entire map …
