On the Chern classes of singular complete intersections

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider two classical extensions for singular varieties of the usual Chern classes of complex manifolds, namely the total Schwartz-MacPherson and Fulton-Johnson classes, cSM(X) and cFJ(X). Their difference (up to sign) is the total Milnor class mathcalM(X), a generalization of the Milnor number for varieties with arbitrary singular set. We get first Verdier-Riemann-Roch type formulae for the total classes cSM(X) and cFJ(X), and use these to prove a surprisingly simple formula for the total Milnor class when X is defined by a finite number of local complete intersection X1,cdotldotscdot,Xr in a complex manifold, satisfying certain transversality conditions. As applications we obtain a Parusi'{n}ski-Pragacz type formula and an Aluffi type formula for the Milnor class, and a description of the Milnor classes of X in terms of the global L^e classes of the Xi.
