Complex Geometry/Holomorphic manifolds
Appearance
Definition (holomorphic manifold):
A holomorphic manifold is a differentiable manifold whose transition maps are holomorphic.
Example (Riemann sphere):
Consider the set
Theorem (Riemann's extension theorem):
Let be a complex manifold, let be holomorphic, and let be holomorphic, such that for all and all , the function is bounded on . Then there exists a unique function that extends .
Exercises
[edit | edit source]- Consider the stereographic projection from a sphere to the complex plane, where the sphere is of radius and tangent to the zero point of the complex plane. Prove that the function corresponds to a reflection of the sphere about the equator.
