Lectures on complex geometry, Calabi-Yau manifolds and toric geometryby Vincent Bouchard - arXiv
These are introductory lecture notes on complex geometry, Calabi-Yau manifolds and toric geometry. We first define basic concepts of complex and Kahler geometry. We then proceed with an analysis of various definitions of Calabi-Yau manifolds.
