In mathematics, an almost complex manifold is a smooth manifold equipped with a smooth linear complex structure on each tangent space. Every complex manifold is an almost complex manifold, but there are almost complex manifolds that are not complex manifolds. Almost complex structures have important applications in symplectic geometry. The concept is due to Charles Ehresmann and Heinz Hopf in the 1940s. (Wikipedia).
Julien Duval - Kobayashi pseudo-metrics, entire curves and hyperbolicity of algebraic varieties 2/2
An almost complex manifold is hyperbolic if it does not contain any entire curve. We start characterizing hyperbolic compact almost complex manifolds. These are the ones whose holomorphic discs satisfy a linear isoperimetric inequality. Then we prove the almost complex version of the Greee

I define topological manifolds. Motivated by the prospect of calculus on topological manifolds, I introduce smooth manifolds. At the end I point out how one needs to change the definitions, to obtain C^1 or even complex manifolds. To learn more about manifolds, see Lee's "Introduction to

IGA - Lars Sektnan Extremal Kähler metrics on blowups
Abstract: Extremal Kähler metrics were introduced by Calabi in the 80’s as a type of canonical Kähler metric on a Kähler manifold, and are a generalisation of constant scalar curvature Kähler metrics in the case when the manifold admits automorphisms. A natural question is when the blowup
