On arithmetical bounds of Chow-forms (Q2565491)

The main result of this paper shows that if the defining prime ideal of a projective variety \(V\) is generated by polynomials \(f_1,\dots,f_m\) of degree \(\leq \ell\), then the coefficients of the Chow-form of \(V\) are given by homogeneous polynomials in the coefficients of \(f_1,\dots,f_m\) of total degree \(\leq \operatorname{codim} V \times \ell^{\operatorname{codim} V-1}\). The proof uses classical elimination theory, especially \textit{F. Mertens}' fundamental results on resultants [Wien. Ber. 108, 1173--1228, 1344--1386 (1899; JFM 30.0158.03)].
