Details of the proof of the inequality $ \int_{X}\left(2 r \mathrm{c}_{2}(E)-(r-1) \mathrm{c}_{1}^{2}(E)\right) \wedge \omega^{n-2} \geq 0.$

I'm trying to make sense of the following proof. Let $E$ be a holomorphic vector bundle of rank $r$ on a compact hermitian manifold $(X, g)$. If $E$ admits an Hermite-Einstein structure then $$ \int_{...

Smooth compactification of complex varieties and uniqueness

Since I'm working in differential geometry, for the following I'm strictly interested in the smooth setting over $\mathbb{C}$ and its relation to the setting over $\mathbb{R}$. Here are a few useful ...

An almost complex structure on $\Bbb S^n$ induces a cross product on $\Bbb R^{n+1}$

It is known that the only spheres that admit an almost complex structures are $\Bbb S^2$ and $\Bbb S^6$ (Borel and Serre, 1953). In particular, $\Bbb S^4$ cannot be given an almost complex structure (...

Threefolds with the same Betti numbers and the same Chern numbers

By a threefold, I mean a compact complex manifold of dimension three. My question is a simple one: Are there known INFINITELY many non-homeomorphic threefolds that have the same Betti numbers and the ...

Examples of 6-manifolds without an almost complex structure

Question: I am searching for examples for closed (hence orientable ), smooth $6$-manifolds without an almost complex structure. Finding such an example is equivelant to finding a manifold where the ...

Submersion function from a product space

Let $\Phi(x,y) \colon U_N \times U_M \to \mathbb{C}^n$ be a submersion, where $U_N \subset \mathbb{C}^N$ and $U_M \subset \mathbb{C}^M$. Under which condition on $\Phi$ can I find some $s \in \...

Uniqueness of Fano varieties

It is a theorem of Kollár–Miyaoka–Mori that there is a finite number of deformation families of smooth, complex Fano $n$-folds for each $n$ (hence also a finite number of diffeomorphism types). My ...
