Geometry (2025-26)

Teachers:  Vincent Koziarz and Andrea Fanelli

Program:

In this course, we will deal with higher dimensional complex geometry, with a focus on Kähler manifolds. This course is complementary to the course of algebraic geometry, but we will give a preference to transcendental methods.

The following topics will be discussed

  • Introduction to holomorphic functions of several variables
  • Complex manifolds, de Rham and Dolbeault cohomology
  • Sheaves and cohomology
  • Vector bundles, connections and curvature
  • Harmonic theory on compact complex manifolds, Hodge theory
  • Kähler manifolds, Hodge decomposition
  • Line bundles, first Chern class, notions of positivity for the curvature, Kodaira vanishing theorem
  • Kodaira embedding theorem
