Why is the Albanese map well-defined?












2












$begingroup$


Let $X$ be a compact Kähler manifold of complex dimension $n$.



$Alb(X):=frac{H^0(X, Omega_X)^*}{rho(H_1(X,mathbb{Z}))}$, where $rho:H_1(X, mathbb{Z}) to H^0(X, Omega_X)^*$ is given by $[r]mapsto ([alpha]mapsto int_ralpha)$.



There exists a holomorphic map from $X$ to Alb($X$): If one chooses a point $p_0$ in $X$, then it is
given by $pmapsto([α]mapstoint_{p_0}^{p}α)$.



But why is this map well-defined, why don't we need to worry about the paths between $p_0$ and $p$?

  • $begingroup$
    If $X$ is a Riemann surface and $p,p_0$ are both in an open set isomorphic to a disk, then this follows directly from Cauchy's integral theorem. The general case can be reduced to this.

Let $c,d$ be paths between $p_0$ and $p$, let $d'$ be $d$ with the reverse orientation $c.d'$ represents an element of $H_1(X,mathbb{Z})$ so $int_{c.d'}alpha=int_calpha-int_dalpha=0$ since it is in the image of $rho$.
