Discreteness For the Set of Complex Structures On a Real Variety

Abstract

AbstractLet X, Y be reduced and irreducible compact complex spaces and S the set of all isomorphism classes of reduced and irreducible compact complex spaces W such that X × Y ≅ X × W. Here we prove that S is at most countable. We apply this result to show that for every reduced and irreducible compact complex space X the set S(X) of all complex reduced compact complex spaces W with X × Xσ ≅ W × Wσ (where Aσ denotes the complex conjugate of any variety A) is at most countable.
