Chern classes in precobordism theories

Algebraic Geometry 2019-12-17 v2 K-Theory and Homology

Abstract

We construct Chern classes of vector bundles in the universal precobordism theory of Annala--Yokura over an arbitrary Noetherian base ring of finite Krull dimension. As an immediate corollary of this, we show that the Grothendieck ring of vector bundles can be recovered from the universal precobordism ring, and that we can construct candidates for Chow rings satisfying an analogue of the classical Grothendieck--Riemann--Roch theorem. We also strengthen the weak projective bundle formula of Annala--Yokura to work for arbitrary projective bundles.
