	Complex geometry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, complex geometry is the study of complex manifolds and functions of many complex variables.
		Complex analytical geometry deals with solving geometrical problems, especially those involving angles, by means of complex algebra.
		Complex numbers can therefore be used to advantage to solve problems in elementary geometry.

	Complex number
		Complex numbers were first introduced in connection with explicit formulas for the roots of cubic[?] polynomials.
		The conjugate of the complex number z corresponds to the transformation which rotates through the same angle as z but in the opposite direction, and scales in the same manner as z; this can be described by the transpose of the matrix corresponding to z.
		Complex numbers are used in signal analysis[?] and other fields as a convenient description for periodically varying signals.

	PlanetMath: algebraic geometry
		Of course, if the ring is the complex numbers, we can apply the highly succesful theories of complex analysis and complex manifolds to address the problems; many powerful tools are available; de Rham cohomology, singular homology, Hodge theory, spectral sequences and many others.
		This is a problem, as in the complex category, cohomology with constant coefficients (in fact, usually with integer coefficients) determines most of the cohomological invariants that are of interest, such as the Betti numbers.

	Algebraic Structure of Complex Numbers
		For, without (1) and (2), the theory of complex numbers would not deliver the closure to the branch of algebra that drove much of its development, viz., the search for the roots of polynomial equations.
		In the complex plane the axes also are referred to as real and imaginary, although both are real enough to the extent that the only way to distinguish between the two is by means of orientation: the rotation from the real to the imaginary axis proceeds counterclockwise.
		Complex numbers for which the real part is 0, i.e., the numbers in the form yi, for some real y, are said to be purely imaginary.

	Complex geometry
		Complex analytical geometry deals with solving geometrical problems, especially involving angles, by means of complex algebra.
		Rather than represent a point in the plane as a pair of Cartesian coordinates, it can simply be represented as a complex number, which in turn can be written in either rectangular or polar form.
		Complex numbers can thus be used to solve problems in elementary geometry[?] in simple and clear way.

	Constructive solid geometry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Constructive solid geometry allows a modeler to create a complex surface or object by using Boolean operators to combine objects.
		Often CSG presents a model or surface that appears visually complex, but is actually little more than cleverly combined or decombined objects.
		When CSG is procedural or parametric, the user can revise their complex geometry by changing the position of objects or by changing the Boolean operation used to combine those objects.

	Coformal theories, curved phase spaces, relativistic wavelets and the geometry of complex domains
		We investigate some aspects of complex geometry in relation with possible applications to quantization, relativistic phase spaces, conformal field theories, general relativity and the music of two and three-dimensional spheres.
		Complex manifolds and in particular classical domains have been studied for many years by mathematicians and theoretical physicists.
		For instance, we cannot say that the study of complex domains (and in particular Cartan classical domains) belongs more to the realm of analysis than to the one of algebra or of geometry but, it is clear that most mathematical articles dealing with the subject fall into one of these three families.

	The Reference Frame: Generalized geometry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		This bihermitean geometry is an older concept than generalized geometry, but we could not resist the temptation to think that they're equivalent or at least closely related.
		The language of generalized geometry should be good for T-duality, but we had a feeling that the integrity and topology of the base space of the bundle is preserved anyway, whatever one does with the bundles, so it does not treat the T-dual backgrounds on equal footing.
		About the generalized stuff and bihermitian geometry, there is a theorem by Gualtieri (in his thesis) who proved that a bihermititan structure and a generalized Kaehler structure (what you get if you have two commuting generalized complex structures) are equivalent.

	Complex Numbers and Geometry
		For any complex number, c = x + y i, where x and y are real numbers, we refer to x as the "real part of c" and y as the "complex part of c".
		We plot a complex number by associating the real part with the horizontal axis and the complex part with the vertical axis.
		The geometric rule for addition is implicit in the very way we plot complex numbers, since a general complex number is naturally written as a sum.

	EDGE
		The study of Riemannian geometry in the complex setting often yields strong and interesting results that can have an impact both on Riemannian geometry and algebraic geometry.
		Symplectic geometry is a part of geometry where `almost-complex' methods already play a large role, and this area forms an integral part of the proposed research.
		Twistor methods give a correspondence between holomorphic geometry and low-dimensional conformal geometry, and also allow the use of complex methods in the study of quaternionic geometry, (parts of) gauge theory and integrable systems, all of which are subjects included in this research proposal.

	Undecidable Problems in Fractal Geometry
		In this paper, the intuitive fact that fractals are complex objects is made precise from a computational point of view by proving that there do not exist algorithms to answer simple questions about fractals.
		Fractal geometry was pioneered by Mandelbrot who showed that many natural objects and phenomena have fractal characteristics [9].
		Since the fractal geometry has strong links with the theory of complex systems, one is pleased to see these three scientifically rich disciplines conveying the same basic message, that finitely describable and seemingly simple systems have complex and provably unpredictable behaviour and such systems occur everywhere.

		The problem with complex functions is they are hard to visualize because the input is a plane and the output is another plane.
