Wei-Liang Chow (1911-1995), known as Chow Wei-Liang in the Chinese tradition, was a Johns Hopkins University professor and mathematician, renowned for his breakthroughs in algebraic geometry.
This invaluable book contains the collected papers of Prof Wei-Liang Chow, an original and versatile mathematician of the 20th Century. Prof Chow's name has become a household word in mathematics because of the Chow ring, Chow coordinates, and Chow's theorem on analytic sets in projective spaces.
By WEI-LIANG CHOW. It is well known that any 1-cycle in an algebraic surface can be deformed into a 1-cycle lying in a generic plane section of the surface.' The usual proof of this theorem, which can be easily generalized from a surface to any non-singular algebraic variety, is topological and consists of a simple con-
