Gauge theoretical methods in the classification of non-Kählerian surfaces

Andrei Teleman (2009)

Banach Center Publications

The classification of class VII surfaces is a very difficult classical problem in complex geometry. It is considered by experts to be the most important gap in the Enriques-Kodaira classification table for complex surfaces. The standard conjecture concerning this problem states that any minimal class VII surface with b₂ > 0 has b₂ curves. By the results of [Ka1]-[Ka3], [Na1]-[Na3], [DOT], [OT] this conjecture (if true) would solve the classification problem completely. We explain a new approach...

General Nijenhuis tensor: an example of a secondary invariant

Studený, Václav (1996)

Proceedings of the Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

The author considers the Nijenhuis map assigning to two type (1,1) tensor fields α , β a mapping 〈 α , β 〉 : ( ξ , ζ ) ↦ [ α ( ξ ) , β ( ζ ) ] + α ∘ β ( [ ξ , ζ ] ) - α ( [ ξ , β ( ζ ) ] ) - β ( [ α ( ξ ) , ζ ) ] ) , where ξ , ζ are vector fields. Then 〈 α , β 〉 is a type (2,1) tensor field (Nijenhuis tensor) if and only if [ α , β ] = 0 . Considering a smooth manifold X with a smooth action of a Lie group, a secondary invariant may be defined as a mapping whose area of invariance is restricted to the inverse image of an invariant subset of X under another invariant mapping. The author recognizes a secondary invariant related to the...
