Questions tagged [grothendieck-riemann-roch]
The Grothendieck–Riemann–Roch theorem is a far-reaching result on coherent cohomology. It is a generalisation of the Hirzebruch–Riemann–Roch theorem, about complex manifolds, which is itself a generalisation of the classical Riemann–Roch theorem for line bundles on compact Riemann surfaces.

What is the Todd class *really*?
My question is about how to think about the Todd class.
Usually this is presented via Grothendieck Riemann Roch (GRR): if $X$ is a smooth projective scheme over a field $\mathbf{C}$, the chern ...

For given bundle $E\to X$ find $\xi\to Y$ such that $\pi_*ch(\xi)=ch(E)$
Let $\pi:X\to Y$ a projective morphism and $F\to X$ a vector bundle. The Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem states that
$$\pi_*(ch(F)td(\pi))=ch(\pi_!F)$$
where $td(\pi)$ denotes the relative Todd ...

Grothendieck Riemann Roch is abelian localisation on loop spaces
Abelian localisation says approximately that for a proper equivaraint map $f:X\to Y$ between schemes with a $\mathbf{G}_m$ action, the pushforward on cohomology $f_*\omega$ can be computed by the ...

Can the dimension of Hom space between vector bundles on an algebraic curve predicted by Riemann-Roch type formula be the minimal possible?
Let us study vector bundles $E$ and $F$ on a smooth projective curve $C$. There is a Riemann-Roch type formula for the Euler characteristic $\chi(E,F)=dim\, Hom(E,F)-dim\, Ext^1(E,F)$ in terms of ...
