Characterization of the currents associated with algebraic cycles by their Chow transform

From MaRDI portal





The main result of the paper is the characterization of the divisors of the Grassmannian \(\mathbb G_{q-1,n}\) which are Chow transforms of \((q,q)\)-currents on \(\mathbb P^n.\) This allows to characterize the currents, associated to algebraic cycles, as being those for which the direct image by a Veronese embedding \(\mathbb P_n\to\mathbb P_{\binom{n+ d}{d}-1}\) of degree \(d\geqslant 2\) has a divisor for the Chow transform. The essential ingredients of the proof are the characterization of Chow forms as solutions of a system of differential equations obtained by a direct method and the classical results of integral geometry which express the image of the Chow transformation as the space of solutions of a system of ultra-hyperbolic equations in homogeneous coordinates characterizing the Chow forms, due to that if is managed to simplify the calculations.
