Complex Dimension


The complex dimension of a complex vector space V is its dimension as a vector space over C. A complex manifold has complex dimension n if its coordinate charts take values in open subsets of C^n. The underlying real vector space of V has twice its complex dimension, and the underlying real manifold of a complex n-manifold has dimension 2n.
