In the book "Heat Kernels and Dirac Operators" by Berline, Getzler and Vergne it is said that "Our book is based on a simple principle, which we learned from D. Quillen: Dirac oper …

Let $f:X \to Y$ be a holomorphic map between two smooth complex projective manifolds. Is there a good notion of pull-back of algebraic cycles by $f$ which preserves degree in the f …

Situation: Let $\Bbbk$ be an algebraically closed field. Assume that $\pi:Y\to X$ is an finite, dominant, unramified morphism between nonsingular varieties of dimensions $n$. Let $ …

Let $X$ be something. (smooth and projective variety over C are my assumptions) The stack $M$ parameterising coherent sheaves on $X$ splits as a disjoint union of open and closed s …

Let $V \rightarrow M$ be an oriented vector bundle over a compact oriented manifold $M$ equipped with a metric $h$ (the metric $h$ is a metric on the Vector bundle $V$, not on the …

We know by some facts from Kobayashi, if the Kahler manifold $M$ has positive first Chern class, i.e., $c_1 (M)>0$ then $M$ is simply connected. So if $c_1 (M)<0$ under which a …

First let me state a Theorem due to Kazdan and Warner: ``Let M be a compact two dimensional orientable manifold. Let $f: M \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a function that has the sam …

Let's assume we start with Chern--Weil theory in the following form: Given a manifold $M$ and a complex vector bundle $V$ over $M$, we can equip $V$ with a $\mathfrak g\mathfra …

Led $D$ be a very ample divisor in $X$ projective variety. I can't understand why the first Chern class $c_1(\mathscr{O}_X(D))$ equals the Poincaré dual of $D$, $\mathscr{P}(D)$

I know some examples that first Chern class has not sign(negative, positive or zero). But I am looking for a necessary and sufficient condition that first Chern class has sign.

one can show that the relation between first Chern class and second Chern class of $CP^n$ is $\frac{2(n+1)}{n} c_2 (M)=c_1 (M)^2$ here $c_1 (M)^2=c_1 (M)∧c_1 (M)$. So is there a …

Let $X$ be a nonsingular projective variety over $\mathbb{C}$, and let $\widetilde{X}$ be the blow-up of X at a point $p\in X$. What relationships exist between the degrees of the …

Given a nonsingular, projective variety $X$ of dimension $n$ over an algebraically closed field $k$. Over $k=\mathbb{C}$, the top chern class $c_n(T_X)$ of the tangent sheaf is th …

Let $E\to X$ be a rank $r$ holomorphic vector bundle on a $n$-dimensional compact complex manifold. Then, it is well known that one can recover the Segre classes of $E$ as follows. …

I am really stuck on this one. Let $Y=\mathbb{P}^n$ be the complex projective space and let $\tilde Y$ be the blow-up of $Y$ along a linear subvariety $X$ of codimension $d$. We ge …
