Tangent cones to positive-\((1,1)\) De Rham currents (Q5894330): Difference between revisions

This paper studies the uniqueness of tangent cones to positive currents in the setting of almost complex manifolds. It is a classical result by Siu that if one has a positive \((1,1)\)-current, the subset of points with strictly positive Lelong number is the union of analytic sets. This is not true for the weakly-positive case. As observed by Kiselman this leads to non-uniqueness of the so-called tangent cone. This non-uniqueness can, however, only happen in a point at which there is a jump in the Lelong number. Few is known about the analogous problems in the setting of almost-complex manifolds. The findings of the author are: On an almost complex manifold carrying a positive \((1,1)\)-normal cycle (positive \((1,1)\)-current of finite mass and without boundary, positivity is with respect to the given symplectic form on the manifold, more details can be found in the paper), if \(x_{0}\) is a point for which the ``density'' (analog of the Lelong number) is positive and there is a sequence accumulating at \(x_{0}\) such that the densities measured at the points tend to the density at \(x_{0}\), then the tangent cone at \(x_{0}\) is unique and is given by a multiple of the current of integration on a certain disk. A strengthening of this result is also provided and it states that any tangent cone at \(x_{0}\) must ``contain'' the sum of certain currents of integration provided that there exists a sequence accumulating at \(x_{0}\) for which merely the densities are bounded below by a positive constant. The case of other bidegrees is not studied. No proofs are presented.
