On proper intersections on a singular analytic space

Abstract

Given a reduced analytic space Y we introduce a class of nice cycles, including all effective Q-Cartier divisors. Equidimensional nice cycles that intersect properly allow for a natural intersection product. Using ∂-potentials and residue calculus we provide an intrinsic way of defining this product. The intrinsic definition makes it possible to prove global formulas. In case Y is smooth all cycles are differences of nice cycles, and so we get a new way to define classical proper intersections.
