| In [[mathematics]], in particular in [[partial differential equation]]s and [[differential geometry]], an '''elliptic complex''' generalizes the notion of an [[elliptic operator]] to sequences. Elliptic complexes isolate those features common to the [[de Rham cohomology|de Rham complex]] and the [[Dolbeault cohomology|Dolbeault complex]] which are essential for performing [[Hodge theory]]. They also arise in connection with the [[Atiyah-Singer index theorem]] and [[Atiyah-Bott fixed point theorem]].

The title of the author is Numbers. Puerto Rico is exactly where he and his spouse live. What I love doing is doing ceramics but I haven't produced a dime with it. Bookkeeping is my profession.
