Abstract

Let XX be a complex projective algebraic variety with Gorenstein quotient singularities and \X\X a smooth Deligne-Mumford stack having XX as its coarse moduli space. We show that the CSM class cSM(X)c^{SM}(X) coincides with the pushforward to XX of the total Chern class c(TI\X)c(T_{I\X}) of the inertia stack I\XI\X. We also show that the stringy Chern class cstr(X)c_{str}(X) of XX, whenever is defined, coincides with the pushforward to XX of the total Chern class c(TII\X)c(T_{II\X}) of the double inertia stack II\XII\X. Some consequences concerning stringy/orbifold Hodge numbers are deduced.
