Bott-Chern Forms and Arithmetic Intersections

On the arithmetic Chern character

of the underlying vector bundles on X , (i.e. in which we ignore the hermitian metrics). Then the difference ĉh(E0) + ĉh(E2)− ĉh(E1), is represented by a secondary characteristic class c̃h first introduced by Bott and Chern [1] and defined in general in [2]. These Bott-Chern forms measure the defect in additivity of the Chern forms associated by Chern-Weil theory to the hermitian bundles in the ...

Analytic torsion of Hirzebruch surfaces

Using different forms of the arithmetic Riemann-Roch theorem and the computations of Bott-Chern secondary classes, we compute the analytic torsion and the height of Hirzebruch surfaces. 1

Relative Bott-Chern Secondary Characteristic Classes

In this paper, we introduce six axioms for relative Bott-Chern secondary characteristic classes and prove the uniqueness and existence theorem for them. Such a work provides us a natural way to understand and hence to prove the arithmetic Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem.

On Bott–Chern forms and their applications

We use Chern–Weil theory for Hermitian holomorphic vector bundles with canonical connections for explicit computation of the Chern forms of trivial bundles with special non-diagonal Hermitian metrics. We prove that every ∂̄∂-exact real form of the type (k, k) on an n-dimensional complexmanifold X arises as a difference of the Chern character forms of trivial Hermitian vector bundles with canonic...
