{{Short description|Generalization of a complex manifold that allows the use of singularities}} [[File:Cone intersects line.png|thumb|A cone is not a complex manifold, but it is a complex analytic variety.]]

In mathematics, particularly differential geometry and complex geometry, a '''complex analytic variety'''<ref group="note">A complex analytic variety is sometimes required to be irreducible and (or) reduced.</ref> or '''complex analytic space''' is a generalization of a complex manifold that allows the presence of singularities. Complex analytic varieties are locally ringed spaces that are locally isomorphic to local model spaces, where a local model space is an open subset of the vanishing locus of a finite set of holomorphic functions.

Complex analytic varieties are analogous to algebraic varieties. Roughly speaking, a complex analytic variety is a zero locus of a set of a complex analytic function, while an algebraic variety is a zero locus of a set of a polynomial function. ==Definition==

Denote the constant sheaf on a topological space with value <math>\mathbb{C}</math> by <math>\underline{\mathbb{C}}</math>. A '''<math>\mathbb{C}</math>-space''' is a locally ringed space <math>(X, \mathcal{O}_X)</math>, whose structure sheaf is an algebra over <math>\underline{\mathbb{C}}</math>.

Choose an open subset <math>U</math> of some complex affine space <math>\mathbb{C}^n</math>, and fix finitely many holomorphic functions <math>f_1,\dots,f_k</math> in <math>U</math>. Let <math>X=V(f_1,\dots,f_k)</math> be the common vanishing locus of these holomorphic functions, that is, <math>X=\{x\mid f_1(x)=\cdots=f_k(x)=0\}</math>. Define a sheaf of rings on <math>X</math> by letting <math>\mathcal{O}_X</math> be the restriction to <math>X</math> of <math>\mathcal{O}_U/(f_1, \ldots, f_k)</math>, where <math>\mathcal{O}_U</math> is the sheaf of holomorphic functions on <math>U</math>. Then the locally ringed <math>\mathbb{C}</math>-space <math>(X, \mathcal{O}_X)</math> is a '''local model space'''.

A '''complex analytic variety''' is a locally ringed <math>\mathbb{C}</math>-space <math>(X, \mathcal{O}_X)</math> that is locally isomorphic to a local model space.

Morphisms of complex analytic varieties are defined to be morphisms of the underlying locally ringed spaces, they are also called holomorphic maps. A structure sheaf may have nilpotent elements;{{sfn|Hartshorne|1977|p=439}} if the structure sheaf is reduced, then the complex analytic space is called reduced.

An '''associated complex analytic space (variety)''' <math>X_h</math> is such that:{{sfn|Hartshorne|1977|p=439}}

:Let X be a scheme of finite type over <math>\mathbb{C}</math>, and cover X with open affine subsets <math>Y_i = \operatorname{Spec} A_i</math> (<math>X =\cup Y_i</math>) (Spectrum of a ring). Then each <math>A_i</math> is an algebra of finite type over <math>\mathbb{C}</math>, and <math>A_i \simeq \mathbb{C}[z_1, \dots, z_n]/(f_1,\dots, f_m)</math>, where <math>f_1,\dots, f_m</math> are polynomials in <math>z_1, \dots, z_n</math>, which can be regarded as a holomorphic functions on <math>\mathbb{C}</math>. Therefore, their set of common zeros is the complex analytic subspace <math>(Y_i)_h \subseteq \mathbb{C}</math>. Here, the scheme X is obtained by glueing the data of the sets <math>Y_i</math>, and then the same data can be used for glueing the complex analytic spaces <math>(Y_i)_h</math> into a complex analytic space <math>X_h</math>, so we call <math>X_h</math> an associated complex analytic space with X. The complex analytic space X is reduced if and only if the associated complex analytic space <math>X_h</math> is reduced.<ref>{{harvtxt|Grothendieck|Raynaud|2002}} (SGA 1 §XII.
