Cup-product ($\cup$) vs. cross-product ($\times$) on the space of graph homology
I'm currently reading Nieper-Wißkirchen's Chern numbers and Rozansky-Witten invariants of compact Hyper-Kähler manifolds. He introduces the space of graph homology $\mathcal B$ as the free $K[\circ]$-...

Hyperplane section argument on Kähler manifold
On a projective variety, there exist very ample line bundles and hyperplane sections. It is a useful trick to take a general hyperplane section to reduce a problem to a lower dimension. However, on ...

$H^2(X,T_X)=0$ implies the Frölicher spectral sequence degenerates at $E_1$?
Let $X$ be a compact complex manifold, if $X$ satisfies $H^2(X,T_X)=0$, then it is well-known that the Kuranishi space of $X$ is smooth by Kodaira and Spencer's deformation theory. On the other hand, ...

Branched covering maps between Riemann surfaces
What is an example of a branched covering map between Riemann surfaces of infinite degree? i.e. something like a branched version of the exponential map $exp: \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{C}^*$.
Thanks!

The discriminant of a holomorphic vector bundle
Let $M$ be a complex manifold and $E$ a holomorphic vector bundle over $M$. The discriminant $\Delta(E)$ of $E$ is then defined to be $$\Delta(E)=c_2(\text{End}(E))=2rc_1(E)-(r-1)c^2_1(E).$$
