Abstract: We establish a general computational scheme designed for a systematic computation of characteristic classes of singular complex algebraic varieties that satisfy a Gysin axiom in a transverse setup. This scheme is explicitly geometric and of a recursive nature terminating on genera of explicit characteristic subvarieties that we construct. It enables us e.g. to apply intersection theory of Schubert varieties to obtain a uniqueness result for such characteristic classes in the homology of an ambient Grassmannian. Our framework applies in particular to the Goresky-MacPherson L-class by virtue of the Gysin restriction formula obtained by the first author in previous work. We illustrate our approach for a systematic computation of the L-class in terms of normally nonsingular expansions in examples of singular Schubert varieties that do not satisfy Poincar'{e} duality over the rationals.
