Abstract: For a smooth projective variety $P$, we construct a Cartier divisor supported on the incidence locus in $mathscr{C}_a(P)imesmathscr{C}_{dim(P)-a-1}(P)$. There is a natural definition of the corresponding line bundle on a product of Hilbert schemes, and we show this bundle descends to the Chow varieties. This answers a question posed by Mazur.

Review text

Let \(P\) be a smooth projective variety of dimension \(n\) and consider the product of the Chow variety of \(a\)-cycles on \(P\) with the Chow variety of \(b\)-cycles on \(P\), where \(a+b+1=n\). The main result of this paper is the construction of a Cartier divisor supported on the incident locus of this product, which parametrizes pairs of cycles with non-empty intersection. This then, answers in the affirmative a question posed by Barry Mazur. The author approaches the problem by constructing a line bundle on an appropriate product of Hilbert schemes and determining that this descends to the desired object on the product of Chow varieties. The paper is very detailed and contains a wealth of information on both Chow varieties and Hilbert schemes.
