Holomorphic Log Complex
By definition of and the fact that exterior differentiation d satisfies, one has
- .
This implies that there is a complex of sheaves, known as the holomorphic log complex corresponding to the divisor D. This is a subcomplex of, where is the inclusion and is the complex of sheaves of holomorphic forms on .
Of special interest is the case where D has simple normal crossings. Then if are the smooth, irreducible components of, one has with the meeting transversely. Locally is the union of hyperplanes, with local defining equations of the form in some holomorphic coordinates. One can show that the stalk of at p satisfies
and that
- .
Some authors, e.g., use the term log complex to refer to the holomorphic log complex corresponding to a divisor with normal crossings.

Famous quotes containing the words log and/or complex:
“It is not growing like a tree
In bulk, doth make man better be,
Or standing long an oak, three hundred year,
To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere:
A lily of a day
Is fairer far in May
Although it fall and die that night;
It was the plant and flower of light.
In small proportions we just beauties see,
And in short measures life may perfect be.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
“It would be naive to think that peace and justice can be achieved easily. No set of rules or study of history will automatically resolve the problems.... However, with faith and perseverance,... complex problems in the past have been resolved in our search for justice and peace. They can be resolved in the future, provided, of course, that we can think of five new ways to measure the height of a tall building by using a barometer.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
