Hodge star operator independant from hermitian metric

201 Views Asked by At

My problem is on the definition of the Hodge star operator on Riemann surface $S$. In general the definition of an Hodge star operator on a manifold depend of the metric but on Riemann surfaces the definitions are saying $\star dz=-id{z}$ and $\star d\overline{z}=id\overline{z}$. So I guess that there is a unique (or canonical) metric one Riemann surface? Can you explain me that or/and give me a good reference for beginner in such a subject. Thanks!
