Kodaira embedding theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (152 words)
	In mathematics, the Kodaira embedding theorem characterises non-singular projective varieties, over the complex numbers, amongst compact Kähler manifolds.
	Kunihiko Kodaira's result is that for a compact Kähler manifold M, with cohomology class in degree 2 defined by the Kähler form ω that is an integral cohomology class, there is a complex-analytic embedding of M into complex projective space of some high enough dimension N.
	The Kodaira result gives a sufficient condition; that the integrality is necessary is more elementary and was already known.
