Abstract

Let J\mathcal J be a coherent ideal sheaf on a complex manifold XX with zero set ZZ, and let GG be a plurisubharmonic function such that G=logf+O(1)G=\log|f|+\mathcal O(1) locally at ZZ, where ff is a tuple of holomorphic functions that defines J\mathcal J. We give a meaning to the Monge-Amp\`{e}re products (ddcG)k(dd^c G)^k for k=0,1,2,...k=0,1,2,..., and prove that the Lelong numbers of the currents MkJ:=1Z(ddcG)kM_k^{\mathcal J}:=\mathbf 1_Z(dd^c G)^k at xx coincide with the so-called Segre numbers of J\mathcal J at xx, introduced independently by Tworzewski, Gaffney-Gassler, and Achilles-Manaresi. More generally, we show that MkJM_k^{\mathcal J} satisfy a certain generalization of the classical King formula.
