Curvature measures and Chern classes of singular varieties (Q1327440)

The main result of the paper is the following Theorem. Given a compact analytic variety \(X\) embedded in a smooth analytic manifold \(M\). Then the Chern-MacPherson classes of \(X\) are represented by the currents \(\pi_{M\#} (PN^* (X) L \gamma_ k)\), \(k = 0, \dots, m - 1\). Here \(\gamma_ h\) are certain ``universal'' differential forms on \(P^*M\)-projectivization of the cotangent bundle of \(M\), and \(N^*(X)\) is a naturally, associated to \(X\) subanalytic integral current.
