Tangent cones to positive-(1,1) De Rham currents

We consider positive-( ) De Rham currents in arbitrary almost complex manifolds and prove the uniqueness of the tangent cone at any point where the density does not have a jump with respect to all of its values in a neighborhood. Without this assumption, counterexamples to the uniqueness of tangent...

Summary:We consider positive-( ) De Rham currents in arbitrary almost complex manifolds and prove the uniqueness of the tangent cone at any point where the density does not have a jump with respect to all of its values in a neighborhood. Without this assumption, counterexamples to the uniqueness of tangent cones can be produced already in ℂ , hence our result is optimal. The key idea is an implementation, for currents in an almost complex setting, of the classical blow-up of curves in algebraic or symplectic geometry. Unlike the classical approach in ℂ , we cannot rely on plurisubharmonic potentials.
