A Chow-Type theorem from asymptotic directions

Let $X\subset \mathbb C^n$ be a closed pure $d$-dimensional complex analytic set. We associate to $X$ its set of projective asymptotic directions $$ \Sigma_\infty(X) :=\{\ell \in \mathbb P^{n-1}(\mathbb C):\ell\cap C_\infty(X)\ne\{0\}\}, $$ where $ C_\infty(X)$ is the total tangent cone at infinity. We prove the metric...
