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:
“The Indians invited us to lodge with them, but my companion inclined to go to the log camp on the carry. This camp was close and dirty, and had an ill smell, and I preferred to accept the Indians’ offer, if we did not make a camp for ourselves; for, though they were dirty, too, they were more in the open air, and were much more agreeable, and even refined company, than the lumberers.... So we went to the Indians’ camp or wigwam.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Specialization is a feature of every complex organization, be it social or natural, a school system, garden, book, or mammalian body.”
—Catharine R. Stimpson (b. 1936)
