May 27, 2014 at 14:31 comment added detted92 Umm, good point. What is then the operation dual to cup-product?
May 27, 2014 at 14:26 comment added David Loeffler You can't take the cup-product of homology classes! Cup-product is an operation on cohomology, so the cycle you're integrating over is nonsensical as soon as $n > 1$.
May 27, 2014 at 14:09 comment added detted92 Thanks Jason. Ok, let me ask this question: you take an abelian variety of dimension $d$, a basis of $H^0(A, \Omega^1_A)$, you pick some cycles $\gamma_1, \ldots, \gamma_d$ and you write the corresponding matrix. Is it possible to express its determinant as the integral of $\omega_1 \wedge \cdots \wedge \omega_d$ (now an element of $H^0(A, \Omega^d)$) over a suitable cycle in $H_d(A(\mathbb{C}), \mathbb{Q})$?

May 27, 2014 at 14:06 comment added detted92 The cup product
May 27, 2014 at 14:04 comment added abx What is $\gamma _1\cup\ldots \cup \gamma _n$?
May 27, 2014 at 14:04 comment added Jason Starr "In that case both sides are zero, no?" Why? Certainly the integral you write is zero, but that does not imply that the determinant is zero. That is why I raised my objection.
May 27, 2014 at 14:01 comment added detted92 In that case both sides are zero, no? But you are right that the case I have in mind is $X$ an abelian variety of dimension $n$ and $\omega_i$ a basis of $H^0(X, \Omega^1_X)$
May 27, 2014 at 13:59 comment added Jason Starr What if the dimension of $X$ is less than $n$? Do you want to assume that $X$ is a complex torus and $\omega_1,\dots,\omega_n$ form a basis?
