Holomorphic Tangent Bundle


The holomorphic tangent bundle to a complex manifold is given by its complexified tangent vectors which are of type (1,0). In a coordinate chart z=(z_1,...,z_n), the bundle is spanned by the local bundle sections partial/partialz_k. The antiholomorphic tangent bundle is locally spanned by partial/partialz^__k, of type (0,1), where z^_ denotes the complex conjugate.

A holomorphic splitting T_X=E_1 direct sum E_2 specifies the subbundles as well as their abstract isomorphism types. A summand is integrable when its local holomorphic sections are closed under the Lie bracket, so it defines a holomorphic foliation (Höring 2007, §2.B).
