Localization in equivariant intersection theory and the Bott residue formula (Q4397442)

Let \(T\) be a split torus acting on a scheme, \(X\). The localisation theorem is an isomorphism between localised higher Chow groups of the form \[ i_{*} : A_{*}(X^{T}) \otimes {\mathbb Q} @>\cong>>A_{*}^{T}(X) \otimes {\mathbb Q} . \] Here \(A_{*}^{T}\) is the authors' equivariant Chow group [\textit{D. Edidin} and \textit{W. Graham}, Invent. Math. 131, No. 3, 595-634 (1998; Zbl 0940.14003)]. When \(X\) is smooth the authors give an explicit formula for \((i_{*})^{-1}\) from which, as is well-known, one may obtain Bott's residue formula for Chern numbers of bundles on smooth, complete varieties. The authors also manage to extend their method to some classes of singular \(X\).
