Density of positive closed currents, a theory of non-generic intersections

Original · EN

We introduce a notion of density which extends both the notion of Lelong number and the theory of intersection for positive closed currents on Kaehler manifolds. For arbitrary finite family of positive closed currents on a compact Kaehler manifold we construct cohomology classes which represent their intersection even when a phenomenon of excess dimension occurs. An example is the case of two algebraic varieties whose intersection has dimension larger than the expected number. The theory allows to solve problems in complex dynamics. Basic calculus on the density of currents is established.
