Complex Geometry of Iwasawa Manifolds

Abstract

Abstract An Iwasawa manifold is a compact complex homogeneous manifold isomorphic to a quotient $G/\Lambda $, where $G$ is the group of complex unipotent $3 \times 3$ matrices and $\Lambda \subset G$ is a cocompact lattice. In this work, we study holomorphic submanifolds in Iwasawa manifolds. We prove that any compact complex curve in an Iwasawa manifold is contained in a holomorphic subtorus. We also prove that any complex surface in an Iwasawa manifold is either an abelian surface or a Kähler non-projective isotrivial elliptic surface of Kodaira dimension one. In the Appendix, we show that any subtorus in Iwasawa manifold carries complex multiplication.
