I stuck around for the beginning of the course to take notes on complex manifolds, complex surfaces and surface classification since these topics are developed in parallel to the algebro-geometric theory of surfaces. The main reference for this course is Griffiths-Harris, Principles of Algebraic Geometry. 1 1 Complex Manifolds 1 Complex Manifolds 1.1 Holomorphic Functions Recall that a complex function f : C ! C is holomorphic if it satisfies the Cauchy-Riemann equations: @u @v @u @v = and = − @x @y @y @x where f = u + iv. To express this for functions of multiple complex variables, we can reinterpret this definition as follows. Set z = x + iy and define differentials dz = dx + i dy, dz¯ = dx − i dy and @f @f df = dx + dy: @x @y 1 i Then dx = 2 (dz + dz¯), dy = − 2 (dz − dz¯) and 1 @f @f 1 @f @f df = − i dz + + i dz¯ 2 @x @y 2 @x @y which suggests defining the following complex derivatives: @f 1 @f @f @f 1 @f @f = − i and = + i : @z 2 @x @y @z¯ 2 @x @y @f @f Then df = @z dz + @z¯ dz¯. Lemma 1.1.1. A complex function in one variable f = u + iv : C ! C is holomorphic if @f and only if @z¯ = 0. n For a multivariable function f : C ! C, write zj = xj + iyj, 1 ≤ j ≤ n, for the coordinates on Cn. Then n n n n X @f X @f X @f X @f df = dx + dy = dz + dz¯ @x j @y j @z j @z¯ j j=1 j j=1 j j=1 j j=1 j where @f and @f are defined in the same way as their single-variable counterparts above. @zj @z¯j n Definition. Let f : C ! C be a complex function in the variables zj = xj + iyj, 1 ≤ j ≤ n, and define n n X @f X @f @f = dz and @f¯ = dz¯ : @z j @z¯ j j=1 j j=1 j Then f is holomorphic if @f¯ = 0. Lemma 1.1.2. A function f : Cn ! C is holomorphic if and only if it satisfies the Cauchy- Riemann equations in each variable zj. n m Definition. More generally, f = (f1; : : : ; fm): C ! C is holomorphic if f1; : : : ; fm are all holomorphic. 2 1.2 Complex Manifolds 1 Complex Manifolds 1.2 Complex Manifolds Definition. A complex n-manifold is a Hausdorff topological space that is locally homeo- morphic to (an open subset of) Cn and has holomorphic transition functions. Explicitly, M is a complex manifold if it admits a complex atlas: a choice of open covering fUig of X n together with homeomorphisms 'i : Ui ! 'i(Ui) ⊆ C such that for each pair of overlapping charts Ui;Uj, the transition map −1 'ij := 'j ◦ 'i : 'i(Ui \ Uj) −! 'j(Ui \ Uj) and its inverse are holomorphic. A complex structure on M is the choice of such a complex atlas, up to holomorphic equivalence of charts, defined by a similar condition to the above. Let M be a complex n-manifold and fix a point p 2 M. Then in a chart U ⊆ M around p, the complex structure determines local parameters dx1; : : : ; dxn; dy1; : : : ; dyn. As in the previous section, there are also complex parameters dzj = dxj + i dyj and dz¯j = dxj − i dyj for 1 ≤ j ≤ n. Each of the dxj; dyj; dzj; dz¯j are R-linear functionals TpM ! R. Writing dzj = dxj + i dyj extends these to C-linear functionals TpM ! C (and likewise for dz¯j), so ∗ @ 1 @ @ @ 1 @ @ each dzj; dz¯j 2 T M ⊗ . Similarly, each = − i and = + i p R C @zj 2 @xj @yj @z¯j 2 @xj @yj ∗ are elements of the complexified tangent space TpM ⊗R C. Note that TpM ⊗ C and Tp ⊗ C are both 2n-dimensional complex vector spaces (so 4n-dimensional real vector spaces). The above functionals are cotangent vectors and can be evaluated on the above tangent vectors as follows: for 1 ≤ j; k ≤ n, @ 1 @ @ dzj = (dxj + i dyj) − i @zk 2 @xk @yk 1 @ @ @ @ = dxj + dyj + i dyj − dxj 2 @xk @yk @xk @yk 1 = [(δ + δ ) + i(0 − 0)] = δ : 2 ij ij ij @ @ @ n @ @ @ @ o Likewise, dz¯j = δij and dzj = dz¯j = 0. Thus ;:::; ; ;:::; @z¯k @z¯k @zk @z1 @zn @z¯1 @z¯n ∗ and fdz1; : : : ; dzn; dz¯1; : : : ; dz¯ng are dual bases for the vector spaces TpM ⊗ C and Tp M ⊗ C, respectively. As a consequence, there are several different notions of \tangent space" for a complex manifold: Real tangent space: the underlying real vector space of TpM, which has real dimen- sion 2n; C Complex tangent space: the complex vector space Tp M := TpM ⊗ C, which has complex dimension 2n; n on 0 @ C Holomorphic tangent space: the subspace TpM := Span @z of Tp M; C j j=1 n on 00 @ C Antiholomorphic tangent space: the subspace Tp M := Span @z¯ of Tp M. C j j=1 3 1.2 Complex Manifolds 1 Complex Manifolds ∗ C;∗ We also define the real and complex cotangent spaces Tp M and Tp M, as well as their 1;0 0 ∗ 0;1 00 ∗ holomorphic and antiholomorphic counterparts Tp M := (TpM) and Tp M := (Tp M) , respectively. Proposition 1.2.1. Let M be a complex manifold of dimension n and p 2 M. Then C 0 00 (1) Tp M = TpM ⊕ Tp M. C 0 00 (2) Complex conjugation acts C-linearly on Tp M and exchanges TpM and Tp M.

Suppose M m and N n are complex manifolds with open subsets U ⊆ M; V ⊆ N, and f : U ! V is an arbitrary function. For 1 ≤ j ≤ m, write the coordinates on U as zj = xj + iyj and similarly, for 1 ≤ k ≤ n, write the components of f on V as wk = uk + ivk. The real Jacobian of f is an m × n matrix 0 1 @uk @uk B @xj @yj C J f = B C R @ @vk @vk A @xj @yj which defines a linear map JRf : TpM ! Tf(p)N for any p 2 U. Extending scalars allows C C us to define the complex Jacobian JCf : Tp M !

Suppose M and N are complex manifolds of the same dimension and f : M ! N is holomorphic. Then 2 @wk det(JRf) = det(JCf) = det ≥ 0: @zj Corollary 1.2.4. A holomorphic map f : M !

More generally, there are holomorphic versions of the inverse and implicit function theo- rems from differential geometry: Theorem 1.2.6 (Inverse Function Theorem). If f : M ! N is holomorphic and JCf is an isomorphism at p 2 M, then there is a neighborhood V ⊆ N of f(p) and an inverse f −1 : V ! f −1(V ) to f around p that is holomorphic on V . Theorem 1.2.7 (Implicit Function Theorem). Let f : M1 × M2 ! N be a holomorphic function such that JCf is invertible at (p; q) 2 M1 × M2 and set w = f(p; q). Then there is a unique holomorphic map g : M ! N such that f(p; g(p)) = w.

  • On Hodge Theory and Derham Cohomology of Variétiés
    On Hodge Theory and DeRham Cohomology of Vari´eti´es Pete L. Clark October 21, 2003 Chapter 1 Some geometry of sheaves 1.1 The exponential sequence on a C-manifold Let X be a complex manifold. An amazing amount of geometry of X is encoded in the long exact cohomology sequence of the exponential sequence of sheaves on X: exp £ 0 ! Z !OX !OX ! 0; where exp takes a holomorphic function f on an open subset U to the invertible holomorphic function exp(f) := e(2¼i)f on U; notice that the kernel is the constant sheaf on Z, and that the exponential map is surjective as a morphism of sheaves because every holomorphic function on a polydisk has a logarithm. Taking sheaf cohomology we get exp £ 1 1 1 £ 2 0 ! Z ! H(X) ! H(X) ! H (X; Z) ! H (X; OX ) ! H (X; OX ) ! H (X; Z); where we have written H(X) for the ring of global holomorphic functions on X. Now let us reap the benefits: I. Because of the exactness at H(X)£, we see that any nowhere vanishing holo- morphic function on any simply connected C-manifold has a logarithm – even in the complex plane, this is a nontrivial result. From now on, assume that X is compact – in particular it homeomorphic to a i finite CW complex, so its Betti numbers bi(X) = dimQ H (X; Q) are finite. This i i also implies [Cartan-Serre] that h (X; F ) = dimC H (X; F ) is finite for all co- herent analytic sheaves on X, i.e.

Abelian Sums (I) The first thing I read about were Abelian sums, which are sums of the form 3 X Z pi (1.1) (L) = !; i=1 p0 where ! is the meromorphic one-form dx=y, L is a line in P2 (the complex projective 2 3 2 plane), p0 is a fixed point of the cubic curve C = (y = x + ax + bx + c), and p1, p2, and p3 are the three intersections of the line L with C. The fact that C and L intersect in three points counting multiplicity is just Bezout's theorem. Since C is not simply connected, the integrals in the Abelian sum depend on the path, but there's no natural choice of path from p0 to pi, so this function depends on an arbitrary choice of path, and will not necessarily be holomorphic, or even Date: August 22, 2008.

  • 1 Complex Theory of Abelian Varieties
    1 Complex Theory of Abelian Varieties Definition 1.1. Let k be a field. A k-variety is a geometrically integral k-scheme of finite type. An abelian variety X is a proper k-variety endowed with a structure of a k-group scheme. For any point x X(k) we can defined a translation map Tx : X X by 2 ! Tx(y) = x + y. Likewise, if K=k is an extension of fields and x X(K), then 2 we have a translation map Tx : XK XK defined over K. ! Fact 1.2. Any k-group variety G is smooth. Proof. We may assume that k = k. There must be a smooth point g0 G(k), and so there must be a smooth non-empty open subset U G. Since2 G is covered by the G(k)-translations of U, G is smooth. ⊆ We now turn our attention to the analytic theory of abelian varieties by taking k = C. We can view X(C) as a compact, connected Lie group. Therefore, we start off with some basic properties of complex Lie groups. Let X be a Lie group over C, i.e., a complex manifold with a group structure whose multiplication and inversion maps are holomorphic. Let T0(X) denote the tangent space of X at the identity. By adapting the arguments from the C1-case, or combining the C1-case with the Cauchy-Riemann equations we get: Fact 1.3. For each v T0(X), there exists a unique holomorphic map of Lie 2 δ groups φv : C X such that (dφv)0 : C T0(X) satisfies (dφv)0( 0) = v.

Thesis Committee Prof. WANG, Xiaowei (Supervisor) Prof. LEUNG, Nai Chung (Chairman) Prof. WANG, Jiaping (Committee Member) Prof. WU,Siye (External Examiner) Abelian Varieties and Theta Functions 4 Abstract In this paper we want to find an explicit balanced embedding of principally polarized abelian varieties into projective spaces, and we will give an elementary proof, that for principally polarized abelian varieties, this balanced embedding induces a metric which converges to the flat metric, and that this result was originally proved in [1). The main idea, is to use the theory of finite dimensional Heisenberg groups to find a good basis of holomorphic sections, which the holo- morphic sections induce an embedding into the projective space as a subvariety. This thesis will be organized in the following way: In order to find a basis of holomorphic sections of a line bundle, we will start with line bundles on complex tori, and study the characterization of line bundles with Appell-Humbert theorem. We will make use of the fact that a positive line bundle will have enough sections for an embedding. If a complex torus can be embedded into the projective space this way, it is called an abelian variety, and the holomorphic sections of an abelian variety are called theta functions.

  • Classical Theta Functions and Their Generalization
    Workshop on Curves and Jacobians, pp. 1{25 Classical theta functions and their generalization Arnaud Beauville Abstract. We first recall the modern theory of classical theta functions, viewed as sections of line bundles on complex tori. We emphasize the case of theta functions associated to an algebraic curve C : they are sections of a natural line bundle (and of its tensor powers) on the Jacobian of C , a complex torus which parametrizes topologically trivial line bundles on C . Then we ex- plain how replacing the Jacobian by the moduli space of higher rank vector bundles leads to a natural generalization (\non-abelian theta functions"). We present some of the main results and open problems about these new theta functions. Introduction Theta functions are holomorphic functions on Cg , quasi-periodic with respect to a lattice. For g = 1 they have been introduced by Jacobi; in the general case they have been thoroughly studied by Riemann and his followers. From a modern point of view they are sections of line bundles on certain complex tori; in particular, the theta functions associated to an algebraic curve C are viewed as sections of a natural line bundle (and of its tensor powers) on a complex torus associated to C , the Jacobian, which parametrizes topologically trivial line bundles on C . Around 1980, under the impulsion of mathematical physics, the idea emerged gradually that one could replace in this definition line bundles by higher rank vector bundles. The resulting sections are called generalized (or non-abelian) theta functions; they turn out to share some (but not all) of the beautiful properties of classical theta functions.

  • Complex Algebraic Varieties and Their Cohomology
    Complex Algebraic Varieties and their Cohomology Donu Arapura July 16, 2003 Introduction In these notes, which originated from various “second courses” in algebraic geometry given at Purdue, I study complex algebraic varieties using a mixture of algebraic, analytic and topological methods. I assumed an understanding of basic algebraic geometry (around the level of [Hs]), but little else beyond stan- dard graduate courses in algebra, analysis and elementary topology. I haven’t attempted to prove everything, often I have been content to give a sketch along with a reference to the relevent section of Hartshorne [H] or Griffiths and Harris [GH]. These weighty tomes are, at least for algebraic geometers who came of age when I did, the canonical texts. They are a bit daunting however, and I hope these notes makes some of this material more accessible. These notes are pretty rough and somewhat incomplete at the moment. Hopefully, that will change with time.
