The fundamental form of a Kähler metric on a complex manifold. A Kähler form is a harmonic real differential form of type . A differential form on a complex manifold is the Kähler form of a Kähler metric if and only if every point has a neighbourhood in which

where is a strictly plurisubharmonic function in and are complex local coordinates.

A Kähler form is called a Hodge form if it corresponds to a Hodge metric, i.e. if it has integral periods or, equivalently, defines an integral cohomology class.
