Sections of Grassmannian bundles

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety of dimension $n$. Take the bundle $TX \oplus Sym^2(TX)$ over $X$ where $Sym^2(TX)$ is the second symmetric product of the tangent space. The Grassmannian bundle $Gr(n,TX \oplus Sym^2(TX))$ has a canonical section, namely $TX$.

My question is: what is the Poincare dual of this section in the cohomology ring of the Grassmannian bundle?

The cohomology ring is

$H^*(Gr(n,TX \oplus Sym^2(TX)))=H(X)[c_1,\ldots, c_n,d_1,\ldots, d_{{n+1 \choose 2}}]/$

$(1+c_1+\ldots +c_n)(1+d_1+\ldots +d_{{n+1 \choose 2}})=c(TX \oplus Sym^2(TX))$

This is probably a trivial question I am a bit confused about it now.

Hi Gergely! This should be not extremely difficult but for sure not completely trivial... I'll think about it later, if no one answers you meanwhile! All the best! –  diverietti Jan 26 '11 at 11:57
My guess: it is the top Chern class of $Hom(TX,Sym^2(TX))$, that is $\prod(\beta_i-\alpha_j)$ where $\beta_i$s and $\alpha_j$s are the Chern roots of the $d$`s and $c$'s respectively, i.e $\prod(1+\beta_i)=1+d_1+\ldots$ –  Gergely Berczi Jan 26 '11 at 12:18

Let $U$ denote the tautological subbundle. I guess that $c_i = c_i(U^*)$ in your notation. Consider the composition map $$U \to p^*(TX + S^2TX) \to p^*S^2TX,$$ where $p:Gr \to X$ is the projection. Then your section is the zero locus of this map. In other words, it is the zero locus of a global section of the vector bundle $U^*\otimes p^* S^2TX$. The section is regular, so the class of the zero locus equals the top Chern class of the bundle. Thus the answer is $$c_{n^2(n+1)/2}(U^*\otimes p^*S^2TX).$$ The rest is a straightforward computation.
