Analytic varieties with finite volume amoebas are algebraic

Abstract

In this paper, we study the amoeba volume of a given
k-dimensional generic analytic variety V of the complex algebraic torus
(C�)n. When n � 2k, we show that V is algebraic if and only if the
volume of its amoeba is finite. Moreover, in this case, we establish a
comparison theorem for the volume of the amoeba and the coamoeba.
Examples and applications to the k-linear spaces will be given.
