Chern classes of Deligne-Mumford stacks and their coarse moduli spaces

Abstract: Let

X

be a complex projective algebraic variety with Gorenstein quotient singularities and

X

a smooth Deligne-Mumford stack having

X

as its coarse moduli space. We show that the CSM class

c^{S M} (X)

coincides with the pushforward to

X

of the total Chern class

c (T_{I X})

of the inertia stack

I X

. We also show that the stringy Chern class

c_{s t r} (X)

of

X

, whenever is defined, coincides with the pushforward to

X

of the total Chern class

c (T_{I I X})

of the double inertia stack

I I X

. Some consequences concerning stringy/orbifold Hodge numbers are deduced.
