A complex Lie group is a Lie group that is a group object not just internal to smooth manifolds but in fact to complex manifolds. Hence it is a complex manifold equipped with a group structure such that both the multiplication map as well as the inverse map are holomorphic functions.
One can also consider groups in almost complex manifolds. But every almost complex Lie group is automatically also a complex Lie group.
For a compact Lie group there is a unique connected complex Lie group such that
the Lie algebra of is the complexification of the Lie algebra of :
is a maximal compact subgroup of .
This is called the complexification of .
(coset spaces of complex Lie groups are Oka manifolds)
Every complex Lie group and every coset space (homogeneous space) of complex Lie groups is an Oka manifolds.
