A K-theoretic Fulton class

Algebraic Geometry 2020-07-08 v2

Abstract

Fulton defined classes in the Chow group of a quasi-projective scheme MM which reduce to its Chern classes when MM is smooth. When MM has a perfect obstruction theory, Siebert gave a formula for its virtual cycle in terms of its total Fulton class. We describe K-theory classes on MM which reduce to the exterior algebra of differential forms when MM is smooth. When MM has a perfect obstruction theory, we give a formula for its K-theoretic virtual structure sheaf in terms of these classes.
