Inequivalent holomorphic atlases

61 Views Asked by At

What is an example of a differential manifold which possesses two holomorphic atlases which are equivalent as differential atlases but inequivalent as holomorphic atlases? Moreover, for this example, are these nice properties distinguishing each atlas?

In dimensions smaller than 4, there is only one differential structure for each topological manifold. That was proved by Tibor Radó for dimension $1$ and $2$, and by Edwin E. Moise in dimension $3$.

Now take $T_g$, the connected sum of $g$ tori: this is a smooth topological surface of genus $g$, hence there is a unique smooth structure on it. By contrast, if $g \ge 2$ then the complex structures on $T_g$ (up to the action of homeomorphisms that are isotopic to the identity) form a space of real dimension $6g-6$, see Teichmuller theory.
