Characteristic Classes of Complex Hypersurfaces

چکیده
The Milnor-Hirzebruch class of a locally complete intersection X in an algebraic manifold M measures the difference between the (Poincaré dual of the) Hirzebruch class of the virtual tangent bundle of X and, respectively, the Brasselet-Schürmann-Yokura (homology) Hirzebruch class of X. In this note, we calculate the Milnor-Hirzebruch class of a globally defined algebraic hypersurface X in terms of the corresponding Hirzebruch invariants of vanishing cycles and singular strata in a Whitney stratification of X. Our approach is based on Schürmann’s specialization property for the motivic Hirzebruch class transformation of Brasselet-Schürmann-Yokura. The present results also yield calculations of Todd, Chern and L-type characteristic classes of hypersurfaces.

Pseudo Ricci symmetric real hypersurfaces of a complex projective space
Pseudo Ricci symmetric real hypersurfaces of a complex projective space are classified and it is proved that there are no pseudo Ricci symmetric real hypersurfaces of the complex projective space CPn for which the vector field ξ from the almost contact metric structure (φ, ξ, η, g) is a principal curvature vector field.
متن کاملOn Intersection Indices of Subvarieties in Reductive Groups
In this paper, I give an explicit formula for the intersection indices of the Chern classes (defined earlier by the author) of an arbitrary reductive group with hypersurfaces. This formula has the following applications. First, it allows to compute explicitly the Euler characteristic of complete intersections in reductive groups thus extending the beautiful result by D. Bernstein and Khovanskii...
متن کاملFeynman Motives of Banana Graphs
We consider the infinite family of Feynman graphs known as the “banana graphs” and compute explicitly the classes of the corresponding graph hypersurfaces in the Grothendieck ring of varieties as well as their Chern–Schwartz–MacPherson classes, using the classical Cremona transformation and the dual graph, and a blowup formula for characteristic classes. We outline the interesting similarities ...
متن کاملInterpolation of Characteristic Classes of Singular Hypersurfaces
We show that the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class of a hypersurface X in a nonsingular varietyM `interpolates' between two other notions of characteristic classes for singular varieties, provided that the singular locus of X is smooth and that certain numerical invariants of X are constant along this locus. This allows us to de ne a lift of the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class of such `nice' hype...
متن کاملHow Many Hypersurfaces Does It Take to Cut out a Segre Class?
We prove an identity of Segre classes for zero-schemes of compatible sections of two vector bundles. Applications include bounds on the number of equations needed to cut out a scheme with the same Segre class as a given subscheme of (for example) a projective variety, and a ‘Segre-Bertini’ theorem controlling the behavior of Segre classes of singularity subschemes of hypersurfaces under general...
