In mathematics, specifically in the study of vector bundles over complex Kähler manifolds, the Nakano vanishing theorem, sometimes called the Akizuki–Nakano vanishing theorem, generalizes the Kodaira vanishing theorem. [1] [2] [3] Given a compact complex manifold M with a holomorphic line bundle F over M, the Nakano vanishing theorem provides a condition on when the cohomology groups equal zero. Here, denotes the sheaf of holomorphic (p,0)-forms taking values on F. The theorem states that, if the first Chern class of F is negative, Alternatively, if the first Chern class of F is positive,
