Chern classes of reflexive sheaves on normal surfaces (Q5926370)

Let \(E\) be a reflexive sheaf of rank \(r\) on a normal projective surface \(X\). The first Chern class of \(E\) is \(c_1(E) = (\wedge ^rE)^{**} \in\) Weil \(X\). The author defines the second Chern class of \(E\) by using a generalization of Wahl's relative local Chern classes of vector bundles on a desingularisation of \(X\). The author proves a Riemann-Roch type formula for \(E\) and shows that the terms in this formula which come from singularities of the sheaf are bounded. Using this, the inequality in Wahl's conjecture on the relative asymptotic Riemann-Roch formula for rank \(2\) vector bundles is proved. It is shown that local orbifold Chern classes and Wahl's local Chern classes coincide at quotient singularities. In particular, Wahl's conjecture holds at quotient singularities. Finally, the Wahl conjecture is proved for quotients of cones over elliptic curves.
