<p>Let $X\subset\mathbb{P}^N$ be a smooth irreducible
complex projective $3$-dimensional variety
and let $H_X$ be its hyperplane section.
Assume that there exists a smooth curve $C$
and a surjective morphism $\pi:X\to C$ such that all its fibers
are isomorphic to $\mathbb{P}^2$ and $\mathcal{O}_{X}(H_X)$
induces $\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^2}(d)$ on each fiber ($d\geq1$ fixed).</p>
<p>I am interested to know the
<strong>degrees</strong> of the Segre (resp. Chern) classes of $X$
(i.e. of the normal bundle $\mathcal{N}_{X,\mathbb{P}^N}$
(resp. of the tangent bundle $\mathcal{T}_X$)).</p>
<p>Note 1: By multiplicativity property of the topological Euler characteristic
we have $c_3(X)=c_2(\mathbb{P}^2)c_1(C)=3c_1(C)=6(1-g(C))$.</p>
<p>Note 2: On Besana and Biancofiore's article, avaidable
<a href="http://condor.depaul.edu/gbesana/papers/BebiForumI.pdf" rel="nofollow" title="NUMERICAL CONSTRAINTS FOR EMBEDDED PROJECTIVE MANIFOLDS">here</a> , at page 12,
there are formulas expressing $s_1,s_2,s_3$
as functions of $q:=h^1(X,\mathcal{O}_X)$ and $d=\deg(X)$.
This would be just what I want, but
I do not understand how these formulas are derived.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
