Complex manifolds
A complex manifold is a geometric shape that, like a smooth surface, locally resembles complex Euclidean space, which includes numbers with both real and imaginary parts. In simple terms, it's a space where each small region can be described using complex coordinates, allowing the use of complex analysis tools. These manifolds generalize familiar shapes like curves and surfaces into higher dimensions, incorporating complex structures that create rich, intricate properties, useful in mathematics and theoretical physics for studying spaces with complex geometric and analytic features.
