Macpherson-Chern classes and characteristic polar cycles (Q1356263): Difference between revisions

Let \(X\) be an affine analytic complex variety. In the note the author considers the MacPherson-Chern class of a constructible function on \(X\) as an object in the Borel-Moore homology of \(X\) and discusses the problem of computing the corresponding analytic cycle on \(X\) in terms of polar multiplicities. His approach is based essentially on basic properties of the characteristic polar multiplicities established by the author in a quite general context for non-isolated singularities [see \textit{D. B. Massey}, `Lê cycles and hypersurface singularities' (1995; Zbl 0835.32002)] as well as on well-known results due to MacPherson, Brylinski, and others concerning explicit calculations of MacPherson-Chern and Chern-Mather classes, the local Euler obstruction of \(X,\) and related constructions [see \textit{R. MacPherson}, Ann. Math., II. Ser. 100, 423-432 (1974; Zbl 0311.14001); \textit{J. Brylinski} et al., C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Sér. I. 293, 573-576 (1981; Zbl 0492.58021)].
