Computing characteristic classes of projective schemes
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss an algorithm computing the push-forward to projective space of several classes associated to a (possibly singular, reducible, nonreduced) projective scheme. For example, the algorithm yields the topological Euler characteristic of the support of a projective scheme S, given the homogeneous ideal of S. The algorithm has been implemented in Macaulay2.

How 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...
متن کاملHodge Style Chern Classes for Vector Bundles on Schemes
In this note, we develop the formalism of Hodge style chern classes of vector bundles over arbitrary quasi-projective schemes defined over K, a field of characteristic zero. The theory of Chern classes is well known by now and without any restriction on the characteristic, can be defined in many theories with rational coefficients, like for example the Chow ring. Atiyah [1] developed the theory...
متن کاملAlgorithms to compute the topological Euler characteristic, Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class and Segre class of projective varieties
Let V be a closed subscheme of a projective space P. We give an algorithm to compute the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class, and the Euler characteristic of V and an algorithm to compute the Segre class of V . The algorithms can be implemented using either symbolic or numerical methods. The algorithms are based on a new method for calculating the projective degrees of a rational map defined by a h...
متن کاملMinimal graphs of a torus, a projective plane and spheres and some properties of minimal graphs of homotopy classes
Contractible transformations of graphs consist of contractible gluing and deleting of vertices and edges of graphs. They partition all graphs into the family of homotopy classes. Contractible transformations do not change the Euler characteristic and the homology groups of graphs. In this paper we describe the minimal representatives of some homotopy classes and find the formula for computing t...
متن کاملChern classes and Characteristic Cycles of Determinantal Varieties
Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. For m ≥ n, we define τm,n,k to be the set of m× n matrices over K with kernel dimension ≥ k. This is a projective subvariety of Pmn−1, and is called the (generic) determinantal variety. In most cases τm,n,k is singular with singular locus τm,n,k+1. In this paper we give explicit formulas computing the Chern-Mather class (cM ) and the C...
