Realization of Chern classes by subvarieties with certain singularities

Source abstract

In this paper we are concerned with subvarieties which realize Chern classes of holomorphic vector bundles. The existence of these subvarieties is known in some cases (for instance, see A. Grotheridieck [2] for projective algebraic varieties and M. Cornalba and P. Griffiths [1] for Stein manifolds). In the present paper we realize Chern classes by subvarieties with singularities of a certain type. Our main theorem is as follows (see Def. 1.1.3 for the definition of quasilinear subvarieties).
