| Jan 22, 2010 at 9:05 | comment | added | Dmitri Panov | I think, the remark of Gromov is quite clear, it is quite hard to belive this remark, but the message is clear. As for Euler characteristics, David gave a correct explanation mathoverflow.net/questions/12601/… | |
| Jan 22, 2010 at 2:02 | comment | added | algori | I'm not sure I understand this remark by Gromov. In the complex analytic case we have the Dolbeault resolution -- one of the ways to state the integrability condition is precisely that Dolbeault complex is a complex. This leads to topological statements, e.g. the alternating sum of the Euler characteristics of $\Omega^i$'s (computed using the Chern classes) is the Euler characteristic of the manifold itself. This may or may not be true in the almost-complex case, but I don't see how to prove it. | |
| Jan 21, 2010 at 23:25 | comment | added | Dmitri Panov | It should be possible to show that majority of complex 3-folds are not Moishezon. So, I would not say that this remark is a real argument against existsing of a complex strucutre on S^6. There is a nice phrase in the aricle of Gromov. ihes.fr/~gromov/topics/SpacesandQuestions.pdf Page 30. "How much do we gain in global understanding of a compact (V, J) by assuming that the structure J is integrable (i.e. complex)? It seems nothing at all: there is no single result concerning all compact complex manifolds" | |
