3. Course Objectives

The goal is to learn the theory of Complex Manifolds. In particular, we aim at the cohomology vanishing theorem and the embedding theorem by K. Kodaira which was one of his main contributions cited in his Fields medal award. The theories and the related techniques became the standard for the study of complex manifolds.

4. Prerequisites & require

The students should be familiar with Differentiable manifolds, Connections, Curvatures (Riemannian geometry), De Rham coholomogy. Basic knowledge of Hodge theory and system of simultaneous partial differential equations. Also some knowledge of Functional Analysis will help.

5. Grading

There will be homework assignments. But most important will be the term paper that summarizes large part of the semester's lectures.
