Transcendental Kähler cohomology classes (Q355146): Difference between revisions

Let \(X\) be a compact complex manifold, \(\dim_\mathbb{C}(X)=n\). Fix an arbitrary Hermitian metric \(\omega\) on \(X\), which will be identified throughout with the corresponding \((1,1)\)-form on \(X\). Let \(\alpha\) be any real \(C^\infty\), \(d\)-closed \((1,1)\)-form on \(X\). Thus, its de Rham cohomology 2-class \(\{ \alpha \} \in H_{DR}^2(X, \mathbb{R})\) is transcendental (i.e. non-rational). Associated with \(\alpha\) is a sequence of asymptotically holomorphic complex line bundles \(L_{k}\) on \(X\) equipped with \((0,1)\)-connections \(\bar{\partial}_{k}\) for which \(\bar{\partial}_{k}^{2}\neq 0\). Their study was begun in the (unpublished) thesis of \textit{L. Laeng} [Estimations spectrales asymptotiques en géométrie hermitienne. Grenoble: Université Joseph Fourier (PhD Thesis) (2002)]. The author proposes in this nonintegrable context a substitute for Hörmander's familiar \(L^{2}\)-estimates of the \(\bar{\partial}\)-equation of the integrable case that is based on analysing the spectra of the Laplace-Beltrami operators \(\Delta_{k}^{''}\) associated with \(\bar{\partial}_{k}\). Global approximately holomorphic peak sections of \(L_{k}\) are constructed as a counterpart to Tian's holomorphic peak sections of the integral-class case. Two applications are obtained when \(\alpha\) is strictly positive: a Kodaira-type approximately holomorphic projective embedding theorem and a Tian-type almost-isometry theorem for compact Kähler, possibly non-projective, manifolds. Unlike similar results in the literature for symplectic forms of integral classes, the peculiarity of \(\alpha\) lies in its transcendental class. This approach will be hopefully continued in future work by relaxing the positivity assumption on \(\alpha\), in particular towards the study of the Demailly's conjecture on transcendental Morse inequalities.
