These notes form the next episode in a series of articles dedicated to a detailed proof of a cohomological index formula for transversally elliptic pseudo-differential operators and applications. The first two chapters are already available…

We present two formulas for Chern classes of the tensor product of two vector bundles. In the first formula we consider a matrix containing Chern classes of the first bundle and we take a polynomial of this matrix with Chern classes of the…

We give a construction of the second Chern number of a vector bundle over a smooth projective surface by means of adelic transition matrices for the vector bundle. The construction does not use an algebraic $K$-theory and depends on the…

We define integral geometric analogues of the Chern classes for real vector bundle on a smooth real variety. More precisely, we define the Chern densities of a real bundle. These densities are analogues of the Chern forms of a complex…

The aim of this note is to improve upon our earlier result which translates Weyl's (curvature) formulation of Chern character of a smooth vector bundle into the language of residues. The dualized Chern character is the functional on smooth…

We discuss secondary (and higher) characteristic classes for algebraic vector bundles with trivial top Chern class. We show that if X is a smooth affine scheme of dimension d over a field k of finite 2-cohomological dimension (with char(k)…

We use Chern-Weil theory for Hermitian holomorphic vector bundles with canonical connections for explicit computation of the Chern forms of trivial bundles with special non-diagonal Hermitian metrics. We prove that every del-dellbar exact…

For two complex vector bundles admitting a homomorphism, whose singularity locates in the disjoint union of some odd--dimensional spheres, we give a formula to compute the relative Chern characteristic number of these two complex vector…

In this paper, I generalize the formula that the integration of Chern forms of hermitian line bundles equals the algebraic intersection number of the underlying line bundles. I generalize it to a formula on a quasi-projective variety over a…

We prove explicit formulas for Chern classes of tensor products of vector bundles, with coefficients given by certain universal polynomials in the ranks of the two bundles.

Given an arithmetic surface and a positive hermitian line bundle over it, we bound the successive minima of the lattice of global sections of this line bundle. Our method combines a result of C.Voisin on secant varieties of projective…

A formula for the first Chern class of the Verlinde bundle over the moduli space of smooth genus g curves is given. A finite-dimensional argument is presented in rank 2 using geometric symmetries obtained from strange duality, relative…

We provide a formula for the Chern character of a holomorphic vector bundle in the hyper-cohomology of the de Rham complex of holomorphic sheaves on a complex manifold. This Chern character can be thought of as a completion of the Chern…

We begin by explaining how a physical problem of studying the quantum Hall effect on a closed surface $C$ leads, via Laughlin's approach, to a mathematical question of describing the rank and the first Chern class of a particular vector…

We show in this article that if a holomorphic vector bundle has a nonnegative Hermitian metric in the sense of Bott and Chern, which always exists on globally generated holomorphic vector bundles, then some special linear combinations of…

Using the theory of quantized equivariant vector bundles over compact coadjoint orbits we determine the Chern characters of all noncommutative line bundles over the fuzzy sphere with regard to its derivation based differential calculus. The…

We prove two results about vector bundles on singular algebraic surfaces. First, on proper surfaces there are vector bundles of rank two with arbitrarily large second Chern number and fixed determinant. Second, on separated normal surfaces…

Coherent sheaves on general complex manifolds do not necessarily have resolutions by finite complexes of vector bundles. However D. Toledo and Y.L.L. Tong showed that one can resolve coherent sheaves by objects analogous to chain complexes…

In a family of curves, the Chern numbers of a singular fiber are the local contributions to the Chern numbers of the total space. We will give some inequalities between the Chern numbers of a singular fiber as well as their lower and upper…

The Chern character of a complex vector bundle is most conveniently defined as the exponential of a curvature of a connection. It is well known that its cohomology class does not depend on the particular connection chosen. It has been shown…
