96728 - Complex Geometry

Academic Year 2024/2025

  • Moduli: Nicola Tito Pagani (Modulo 2) Enrico Fatighenti (Modulo 1)
  • Teaching Mode: Traditional lectures (Modulo 2) Traditional lectures (Modulo 1)
  • Campus: Bologna
  • Corso: Second cycle degree programme (LM) in Mathematics (cod. 5827)

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course, the student will have acquired the fundamentals of the theory of complex manifolds, holomorphic forms, and Hodge theory. They will be able to apply the acquired concepts to solve problems and construct proofs.

Course contents

Sheaf theory and their cohomology. Tools from complex analysis in several variables. Complex structures and complex manifolds, differential forms of type (p,q).

Holomorphic vector bundles, line bundles, exponential sequence, and first Chern class, adjunction formula. Canonical ring and Kodaira dimension, algebraic-geometric examples.

Hodge theory on Kaehler manifolds. Hodge symmetries and Lefschetz theorems. Examples of calculations in the projective case.

Time permitting, the following topics (or some of them) will be covered: Chern classes (axiomatic definition), the Riemann-Roch theorem, Serre duality, Kodaira vanishing.

Readings/Bibliography

The course will follow (alternatively) the following texts. Exact bibliographic references will be provided during the lectures.

Hodge Theory and Complex Algebraic Geometry I, by Claire Voisin (Cambridge University Press)

Complex Geometry, by Daniel Huybrechts (Universitext)

(another optional text)

Principles of Algebraic Geometry, by Phillip Griffiths, Joseph Harris (Wiley)

Teaching methods

Lectures and exercises by the lecturer(s).

Assessment methods

Seminar and oral exam, with possible exercises at the end of the course.
