Holomorphic chains and the support hypothesis conjecture. (English) Zbl 0870.32003
Let $$\Omega$$ be a complex manifold. The space of all locally rectifiable $$(h, h)$$-currents on $$\Omega$$ is denoted by $$R^{\text{loc}}_{(h,h)} (\Omega)$$.
The author proves the following conjecture of Marvey and Shiffman:
Theorem. Let $$T\in R^{\text{loc}}_{(h,h)} (\Omega)$$ with $$dT=0$$. Then $$T$$ is a holomorphic $$h$$-chain.
Holomorphic $$h$$-chains are linear combinations with integer coefficients of locally finite families of $$h$$-dimensional varieties in $$\Omega$$.
