Fundamental Classes in Algebraic Cobordism
نویسنده
چکیده
We recall our construction of fundamental classes in the algebraic cobordism of smooth quasi-projective varieties, and show by examples that it is not possible to extend this to fundamental classes, functorial for local complete intersection morphisms, for Cohen-Macaulay varieties.

Torsion Algebraic Cycles and Étale Cobordism
We prove that the classical integral cycle class map from algebraic cycles to étale cohomology factors through a quotient of `-adic étale cobordism over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. This shows that there is a strong topological obstruction for cohomology classes to be algebraic and that examples of Atiyah, Hirzebruch and Totaro also work in positive

متن کاملOrientations and Transfers in Cohomology of Algebraic Varieties
Algebro-geometric cohomology theories are described axiomatically, with a systematic treatment of their orientations. For every oriented theory, transfer mappings are constructed for mappings of smooth varieties that are proper on supports. In some basic cases, transfers are calculated. The presentation is illustrated by motivic cohomology, K-theory, algebraic cobordism, and other examples. The...
متن کاملA Strong Regular Relation on ?-Semihyperrings
The concept of algebraic hyperstructures introduced by Marty as a generalization of ordinary algebraic structures. In an ordinary algebraic structure, the composition of two elements is an element, while in an algebraic hyperstructure, the composition of two elements is a set. The concept of ?-semihyperrings is a generalization of semirings, a generalization of semihyperrings and a generalizat...
متن کاملWu Numbers of Singular Spaces
IN THIS paper we consider the following question: for how singular a space is it possible to define cobordism invariant characteristic numbers? This question was one of the motivations behind the development of intersection homology: there are many singular spaces (complex algebraic varieties, for example) for which Whitney [40], Chern [28], and L [ 1 S] classes can be defined, but these are ho...
