Relative non-pluripolar product of currents

Let X be a compact Kähler manifold. Let $$T_1, \ldots , T_m$$ T 1 , … , T m be closed positive currents of bi-degree (1, 1) on X and T an arbitrary closed positive current on X. We introduce the non-pluripolar product relative to T of $$T_1, \ldots , T_m$$ T 1 , … , T m . We recover the well-known non-pluripolar product of $$T_1, \ldots , T_m$$ T 1 , … , T m when T is the current of integration along X. Our main results are a monotonicity property of relative non-pluripolar products, a necessary condition for currents to be of relative full mass intersection in terms of Lelong numbers, and the convexity of weighted classes of currents of relative full mass intersection. The former two results are new even when T is the current of integration along X.

A Dual of the Chow Transformation

We define a dual of the Chow transformation of currents on the complex projective space. This transformation factorizes a left inverse of the Chow transformation and its composition with the Chow transformation is a right inverse of a linear diferential operator. In such a way we complete the general scheme of integral geometry for the Chow transformation. On another hand we prove the existence of a well defined closed positive conormal current associated to every closed positive current on the projective space. This is a consequence of the existence of a dual current, defined on the dual projective space. This allows us to extend to the case of a closed positive current the known inversion formula for the conormal of the Chow divisor of an effective algebraic cycle.

Regularization of closed positive currents and intersection theory

We prove the existence of a closed regularization of the integration current associated to an effective analytic cycle, with a bounded negative part. By means of the King formula, we are reduced to regularize a closed differential form with L1loc coefficients, which by extension has a test value on any positive current with the same support as the cycle. As a consequence, the restriction of a closed positive current to a closed analytic submanifold is well defined as a closed positive current. Lastly, given a closed smooth differential (qʹ, qʹ)-form on a closed analytic submanifold, we prove the existence of a closed (qʹ, qʹ)-current having a restriction equal to that differential form. After blowing up we deal with the case of a hypersurface and then the extension current is obtained as a solution of a linear differential equation of order 1.

FAMILIES OF HOLOMORPHIC BUNDLES

The first goal of the article is to solve several fundamental problems in the theory of holomorphic bundles over non-algebraic manifolds. For instance, we prove that stability and semi-stability are Zariski open properties in families when the Gauduchon degree map is a topological invariant, or when the parameter manifold is compact. Second, we show that, for a generically stable family of bundles over a Kähler manifold, the Petersson–Weil form extends as a closed positive current on the whole parameter space of the family. This extension theorem uses classical tools from Yang–Mills theory (e.g., the Donaldson functional on the space of Hermitian metrics and its properties). We apply these results to study families of bundles over a Kählerian manifold Y parametrized by a non-Kählerian surface X, proving that such families must satisfy very restrictive conditions. These results play an important role in our program to prove existence of curves on class VII surfaces [22–24].
