Similarity:

Let Y be a normal crossing divisor in the smooth complex projective algebraic variety X and let U be a tubular neighbourhood of Y in X . Using geometrical properties of different intersections of the irreducible components of Y , and of the embedding Y X , we provide the “normal forms” of a set of geometrical cycles which generate H * ( A , B ) , where ( A , B ) is one of the following pairs ( Y , ) , ( X , Y ) , ( X , X - Y ) , ( X - Y , ) and ( U , ) . The construction is compatible with the weights in H * ( A , B , ) of Deligne’s mixed Hodge structure. The main technical...

The modified diagonal cycle on the triple product of a pointed curve

Benedict H. Gross, Chad Schoen (1995)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

Let X be a curve over a field k with a rational point e . We define a canonical cycle Δ e Z 2 ( X 3 ) hom . Suppose that k is a number field and that X has semi-stable reduction over the integers of k with fiber components non-singular. We construct a regular model of X 3 and show that the height pairing τ * ( Δ e ) , τ * ' ( Δ e ) is well defined where τ and τ ' are correspondences. The paper ends with a brief discussion of heights and L -functions in the case that X is a modular curve.

On signatures associated with ramified coverings and embedding problems

J. Wood, Emery Thomas (1973)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

Given a cohomology class ξ H 2 ( M ; Z ) there is a smooth submanifold K M Poincaré dual to ξ . A special class of such embeddings is characterized by topological properties which hold for nonsingular algebraic hypersurfaces in C P n . This note summarizes some results on the question: how does the divisibility of ξ restrict the dual submanifolds K in this class ? A formula for signatures associated with a d -fold ramified cover of M branched along K is given and a proof is included in case d = 2 .

Levi's forms of higher codimensional submanifolds

Let X C n , let M be a C 2 hypersurface of X , S be a C 2 submanifold of M . Denote by L M the Levi form of M at z 0 S . In a previous paper [3] two numbers s ± S , p , p T ˙ S * X z 0 are defined; for S = M they are the numbers of positive and negative eigenvalues for L M . For S M , p S × M T ˙ * S X ) , we show here that s ± S , p are still the numbers of positive and negative eigenvalues for L M when restricted to T z 0 C S . Applications to the concentration in degree for microfunctions at the boundary are given.
