A Formula for the Chern Classes of Symplectic Blow-ups
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that the formula for the Chern classes (in the Chow ring) of blow-ups of algebraic varieties, due to Porteous and Lascu-Scott, also holds (in the cohomology ring) for blow-ups of symplectic and complex manifolds. This was used by the second-named author in her solution of the geography problem for 8-dimensional symplectic manifolds. The proof equally applies to real blow-ups of arbitrary manifolds and yields the corresponding blow-up formula for the Stiefel-Whitney classes. In the course of the argument the topological analogue of Grothendieck’s formule clef in intersection theory is proved.

Chern Classes of Blow-ups
We extend the classical formula of Porteous for blowing-up Chern classes to the case of blow-ups of possibly singular varieties along regularly embedded centers. The proof of this generalization is perhaps conceptually simpler than the standard argument for the nonsingular case, involving Riemann-Roch without denominators. The new approach relies on the explicit computation of an ideal, and a m...
متن کاملGromov-Witten Invariants of Blow-ups Along Points and Curves
In this paper, usng the gluing formula of Gromov-Witten invariants under symplectic cutting, due to Li and Ruan, we studied the Gromov-Witten invariants of blow-ups at a smooth point or along a smooth curve. We established some relations between Gromov-Witten invariants of M and its blow-ups at a smooth point or along a smooth curve.
متن کاملSemifree Symplectic Circle Actions on 4-orbifolds
A theorem of Tolman and Weitsman states that all symplectic semifree circle actions with isolated fixed points on compact symplectic manifolds must be Hamiltonian and have the same equivariant cohomology and Chern classes of (CP 1)n equipped with the standard diagonal circle action. In this paper, we show that the situation is much different when we consider compact symplectic orbifolds. Focusi...
متن کاملTopology of Blow–ups and Enumerative Geometry
Let f M be the blow–up of a complex manifold M along a submanifold X. We determine the integral cohomology ring and obtain a formula for the Chern classes of f M . As applications we determine the cohomology rings for the varieties of complete conics and complete quadrices in 3–space, and justify two enumerative results due to Schubert [S1, §20; §22]. 2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: 1...
متن کاملChern 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...
