 Description: Title: Kodaira's theorem: criterion for embedding a compact Kahler manifold in projective space (Lecture 2) Abstract: Let $M$ be a compact Kahler manifold and $\Omega (M)$ the canonical $2$-form on $M$. When $M$ is projective $n$-spce $\P^n(\C)$ , $H^2(M,\C)$ is of dimension 1. It follows that for any Kahler metric on the projective space, the cohomology class $[\Omega (M)$ of the canonical $2$-form is a multiple of the (unique up to sign) of a generator of $H^2(M,\Z)$. It is immediate from this that if $M$ is a complex sub-manifold of $\P^n(\C)$ for some $n$, then for the Kahler metric on $M$ induced from one on $\P^n(\C)$, it is clear that $[\Omega(M)] \in$\C \cdot H^2(M, Z)$. Kodaira's theorem is a converse to this fact: If a complex manifold$M$admits a Kahler metric such that the class of$\Omega(M)$is a multiple of an integral class, then$M\$ can be embedded in some projective space. This result was conjectured by W V D Hodge. Location: Room 215, Department of Mathematics Date: Friday, October 6, 2017 Time: 3:30pm IST Access: Public
