A complex manifold is a manifold whose coordinate charts
are open subsets of
and the transition functions between charts
are holomorphic functions. Naturally, a complex
manifold of dimension
also has the structure of a real smooth
manifold of dimension
.
A function
is holomorphic if it is holomorphic
in every coordinate chart. Similarly, a map
is holomorphic
if its restrictions to coordinate charts on
are holomorphic. Two complex manifolds
and
are considered equivalent if there is a map
which is a diffeomorphism
and whose inverse is holomorphic.
