Lectures on Kähler Manifolds
Author: Werner Ballmann
language: en
Publisher: European Mathematical Society
Release Date: 2006
These notes are based on lectures the author gave at the University of Bonn and the Erwin Schrodinger Institute in Vienna. The aim is to give a thorough introduction to the theory of Kahler manifolds with special emphasis on the differential geometric side of Kahler geometry. The exposition starts with a short discussion of complex manifolds and holomorphic vector bundles and a detailed account of the basic differential geometric properties of Kahler manifolds. The more advanced topics are the cohomology of Kahler manifolds, Calabi conjecture, Gromov's Kahler hyperbolic spaces, and the Kodaira embedding theorem. Some familiarity with global analysis and partial differential equations is assumed, in particular in the part on the Calabi conjecture. There are appendices on Chern-Weil theory, symmetric spaces, and $L^2$-cohomology.

Kähler geometry is a beautiful and intriguing area of mathematics, of substantial research interest to both mathematicians and physicists. This self-contained graduate text provides a concise and accessible introduction to the topic. The book begins with a review of basic differential geometry, before moving on to a description of complex manifolds and holomorphic vector bundles. Kähler manifolds are discussed from the point of view of Riemannian geometry, and Hodge and Dolbeault theories are outlined, together with a simple proof of the famous Kähler identities. The final part of the text studies several aspects of compact Kähler manifolds: the Calabi conjecture, Weitzenböck techniques, Calabi–Yau manifolds, and divisors. All sections of the book end with a series of exercises and students and researchers working in the fields of algebraic and differential geometry and theoretical physics will find that the book provides them with a sound understanding of this theory.
Lectures on Kähler Groups

"A natural question that sits at the nexus of algebraic geometry, differential geometry, and geometric group theory is: which groups can be realized as fundamental groups of compact Kähler manifolds, called "Kähler groups"? Roughly speaking, the fundamental group of a manifold measures the number of "holes." Many restrictions are known, and many examples are known; but mathematicians are far from having a precise conjecture about which groups are Kähler. The question serves as a fruitful connection between several major areas of geometry and complex analysis. Py's book is an up-to-date pedagogical survey of the central theorems and methods for the study of Kähler groups including, where illuminating, detailed proofs. It includes results of Gromov, Schoen, Napier, Ramachandran, Corlette, Simpson, Delzant, Arapura, and Nori. The charm of the subject is that different methods yield information of different flavors, and the challenge is to draw these threads together. This book leans toward geometric group theory, but it gives a coherent account of great value to anyone interested in Kähler groups - and in Kähler manifolds more broadly. The emphasis is on unity and cross-fertilization among approaches"--
