Explicit Serre duality on complex spaces

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper we use recently developed calculus of residue currents together with integral formulas to give a new explicit analytic realization, as well as a new analytic proof of Serre duality on any reduced pure n-dimensional paracompact complex space X. At the core of the paper is the introduction of concrete fine sheaves mathscrBXn,q of certain currents on X of bidegree (n,q), such that the Dolbeault complex becomes, in a certain sense, a dualizing complex. In particular, if X is Cohen-Macaulay (e.g., Gorenstein or a complete intersection) then is an explicit fine resolution of the Grothendieck dualizing sheaf.


Let \(F\to X\) be a complex vector bundle over an \(n\)-dimensional complex manifold \(X\). Serre duality gives a pairing between the cohomology groups of the space of smooth \(F\)-valued \((0,q)\)-forms on the one hand, and of smooth compactly supported \((n,q)\)-forms with values in the dual bundle \(F^*\) on the other hand, by NEWLINE\[NEWLINE ([\varphi]_{\bar\partial}, [\psi]_{\bar\partial})\mapsto\int_X \varphi\wedge\psi.NEWLINE\]NEWLINE This does not work in general in the case of singular spaces. Using a recently developed calculus of residue currents [\textit{M. Andersson} and \textit{H. Samuelsson}, Invent. Math. 190, No. 2, 261--297 (2012; Zbl 1271.32009)], the authors replace the sheaves of smooth forms by certain fine sheaves of currents and get a new explicit analytic realization of Serre duality on reduced pure dimensional paracompact complex spaces.
