A new framework for noncommutative complex geometry on quantum homogeneous spaces is introduced. The main ingredients used are covariant differential calculi and Takeuchi's categorical equivalence for quantum homogeneous spaces. A number of basic results are established, producing a simple set of necessary and sufficient conditions for noncommutative complex structures to exist. Throughout, the framework is applied to the quantum projective spaces endowed with the Heckenberger-Kolb calculus. * Supported by the Grant GACR P201/12/G028 Let A be a unital algebra (in what follows all algebras are assumed to be unital). A first-order differential calculus over A is a pair (Ω 1 , d), where Ω 1 is an A-A-bimodule and d : A → Ω 1 is a linear map for which the Leibniz rule holds d(ab) = a(db) + (da)b, a, b, ∈ A, and for which Ω 1 = span C {adb | a, b ∈ A}. (Where no confusion arises, we will drop explicit reference to d and denote a calculus by its bimodule Ω 1 alone.) We call an
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
