Singular Chern Classes of Schubert Varieties via Small Resolution
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss a method for calculating the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson (CSM) class of a Schubert variety in the Grassmannian using small resolutions introduced by Zelevinsky. As a consequence, we show how to compute the Chern-Mather class and local Euler obstructions using small resolutions instead of the Nash blowup. The algorithm obtained for CSM classes also allows us to prove new cases of a positivity conjecture of Aluffi and Mihalcea.

Chern Classes of Birational Varieties
Let φ : V 99K W be a birational map between smooth algebraic varieties which does not change the canonical class (in the sense of Batyrev, [Bat99]). We prove that the total homology Chern classes of V and W are push-forwards of the same class from a resolution of indeterminacies of φ. For example, it follows that the push-forward of the total Chern class of a crepant resolution of a singular va...
متن کاملShadows of Characteristic Cycles, Verma Modules, and Positivity of Chern-schwartz-macpherson Classes of Schubert Cells
Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson (CSM) classes generalize to singular and/or noncompact varieties the classical total homology Chern class of the tangent bundle of a smooth compact complex manifold. The theory of CSM classes has been extended to the equivariant setting by Ohmoto. We prove that for an arbitrary complex algebraic manifold X, the homogenized, torus equivariant CSM class of a constructibl...
متن کاملExtendable Cohomologies for Complex Analytic Varieties
We introduce a cohomology, called extendable cohomology, for abstract complex singular varieties based on suitable differential forms. Beside a study of the general properties of such a cohomology, we show that, given a complex vector bundle, one can compute its topological Chern classes using the extendable Chern classes, defined via a Chern-Weil type theory. We also prove that the localizatio...
متن کاملChern Classes of Splayed Intersections
We generalize the Chern class relation for the transversal intersection of two nonsingular varieties to a relation for possibly singular varieties, under a splayedness assumption. The relation is shown to hold for both the Chern– Schwartz–MacPherson class and the Chern–Fulton class. The main tool is a formula for Segre classes of splayed subschemes. We also discuss the Chern class relation unde...
متن کاملPositivity of Chern classes of Schubert cells and varieties
We show that the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class of a Schubert cell in a Grassmannian is represented by a reduced and irreducible subvariety in each degree. This gives an affirmative answer to a positivity conjecture of Aluffi and Mihalcea.
