Abstract
A Weierstrass fibration is an elliptic fibration whose total space may be given by a global Weierstrass equation in a -bundle over . In this note, we compute stringy Hirzebruch classes of singular Weierstrass fibrations associated with constructing non-Abelian gauge theories in -theory. For each Weierstrass fibration we then derive a generating function , whose degree- coefficient encodes the stringy -genus of over an unspecified base of dimension , solely in terms of invariants of the base. To facilitate our computations, we prove a formula for general characteristic classes of blowups along (possibly singular) complete intersections.
