Chern classes and Bochner-Kaehler metrics

BOCHNER - KÄHLER METRICS 3 Theorem

A Kähler metric is said to be Bochner-Kähler if its Bochner curvature vanishes. This is a nontrivial condition when the complex dimension of the underlying manifold is at least 2. In this article it will be shown that, in a certain well-defined sense, the space of Bochner-Kähler metrics in complex dimension n has real dimension n+1 and a recipe for an explicit formula for any Bochner-Kähler met...

Chow Homology and Chern Classes

Stringy Chern classes

Work of Dixon, Harvey, Vafa and Witten in the 80’s ([DHVW85]) introduced a notion of Euler characteristic (for quotients of a torus by a finite group) which became known as the physicist’s orbifold Euler number. In the 90’s V. Batyrev introduced a notion of stringy Euler number ([Bat99b]) for ‘arbitrary Kawamata log-terminal pairs’, proving that this number agrees with the physicist’s orbifold ...

Composition operators and natural metrics in meromorphic function classes $Q_p$

‎In this paper‎, ‎we investigate some results on natural metrics on the $mu$-normal functions and meromorphic $Q_p$-classes‎. ‎Also‎, ‎these classes are shown to be complete metric spaces with respect to the corresponding metrics‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎compact composition operators $C_phi$ and Lipschitz continuous operators acting from $mu$-normal functions to the meromorphic $Q_p$-classes are characte...

Chern Classes for Singular Hypersurfaces

We prove a simple formula for MacPherson’s Chern class of hypersurfaces in nonsingular varieties. The result highlights the relation between MacPherson’s class and other definitions of homology Chern classes of singular varieties, such as Mather’s Chern class and the class introduced by W. Fulton in [Fulton], 4.2.6. §0. Introduction 2 §1. Statements of the result 4 §1.1. MacPherson’s Chern clas...
