Abstract: Here, we utilize facts about the big Chern classes discovered by M. Kapranov and independently by M. V. Nori to prove certain results about the nonexistence of certain morphisms from Grassmannian to Grassmannian in characteristic 0. In particular, we show that the filtration F_. on CH^l(X) where F_rCH^l(X) is the linear span of ch_l(V) for all vector bundles V of rank <=r is nontrivial as a theory by showing that for a fixed l>=2, for infinitely many r, for a Grassmannian of r dimensional quotient spaces in an n dimensional vector space (n sufficiently large) over a field of charactersitic 0, ch_l(Q) is in F_rCH^l(G(r,n)) but not in F^(r-1)CH^l(G(r,n)) where Q is the universal quotient bundle of the Grassmannian G(r,n). Separately but using similar methods, we show that for r>=2, if Q denotes the universal quotient bundle of the Grassmannian of r dimensional quotients G(r,n), n>=2r+1, then the class [psi^pQ] can never be equal to the class of a genuine vector bundle in K(G). In parallel, we obtain a formula for the bid Chern classes in terms of the ch_l. This leads to the identification of proper subfunctors of the Hodge functors H^q(X, Omega^p) in characteristic 0.

Review text

Summary: This paper proves some properties of the big Chern classes of a vector bundle on a smooth scheme over a field of characteristic \(0\). These properties together with the explicit computation of the big Chern classes of universal quotient bundles of Grassmannians are used to prove the main Theorems (Theorems 1,2 and 3) of this paper. The nonexistence certain morphisms between Grassmannians over a field of characteristic \(0\) follows directly from these theorems. One of our theorems, for instance, states that the higher Adams operations applied to the class of a universal quotient bundle of a Grassmannian that is not a line bundle yield elements in the K-ring of the Grassmannian that are not representable as classes of genuine vector bundles. This is not true for Grassmannians over a field of characteristic \(p\).
