In mathematics, in particular differential geometry and complex geometry, a complex analytic variety[note 1] or complex analytic space is a generalization of a complex manifold that allows the presence of singularities. Complex analytic varieties are locally ringed spaces that are locally isomorphic to local model spaces, where a local model space is an open subset of the vanishing locus of a finite set of holomorphic functions.

Definition

Denote the constant sheaf on a topological space with value by _. A -space is a locally ringed space (X,𝒪X), whose structure sheaf is an algebra over _. Choose an open subset U of some complex affine space n, and fix finitely many holomorphic functions f1,,fk in U. Let X=V(f1,,fk) be the common vanishing locus of these holomorphic functions, that is, X={xf1(x)==fk(x)=0}. Define a sheaf of rings on X by letting 𝒪X be the restriction to X of 𝒪U/(f1,,fk), where 𝒪U is the sheaf of holomorphic functions on U. Then the locally ringed -space (X,𝒪X) is a local model space. A complex analytic variety is a locally ringed -space (X,𝒪X) that is locally isomorphic to a local model space. Morphisms of complex analytic varieties are defined to be morphisms of the underlying locally ringed spaces, they are also called holomorphic maps. A structure sheaf may have nilpotent element,[1] and also, when the complex analytic space whose structure sheaf is reduced, then the complex analytic space is reduced, that is, the complex analytic space may not be reduced. An associated complex analytic space (variety) Xh is such that;[1]

Let X be schemes finite type over , and cover X with open affine subset Yi=SpecAi (X=Yi) (Spectrum of a ring). Then each Ai is an algebra of finite type over , and Ai[z1,,zn]/(f1,,fm). Where f1,,fm are polynomial in z1,,zn, which can be regarded as a holomorphic function on . Therefore, their common zero of the set is the complex analytic subspace (Yi)h. Here, scheme X obtained by glueing the data of the set Yi, and then the same data can be used to glueing the complex analytic space (Yi)h into an complex analytic space Xh, so we call Xh a associated complex analytic space with X. The complex analytic space X is reduced if and only if the associated complex analytic space Xh reduced.[2]
