Feb 17, 2010 at 0:01 comment added James O But the function $$\alpha \rightarrow exp\left( \sum \frac{z_i P_\alpha[-i]}{(-1)^{i-1}i} \right) \cdot 1$$ is well defined, no? This should be the case since $P_\alpha[-i]$ is defined for any class $\alpha$. Thank you again!

Feb 16, 2010 at 2:01 comment added Hiraku Nakajima I mean 'defined' instead of 'well-defined' in the above comment.
Feb 16, 2010 at 0:34 comment added Hiraku Nakajima The left hand side is not well-defined for $\alpha$. For the right hand side, you should remind yourself of the definition of $P_\Sigma[i]$ in Chapter 8 of the book.

Feb 16, 2010 at 0:09 comment added James O Dear Professor Nakajima, would you agree that the formula on page 99 of your book $$\sum z^n [S^n \Sigma] = exp\left( \sum \frac{z_i P_\sigma[i]}{(-1)^{i-1}i} \right) \cdot 1 $$ is well defined if we replace $\Sigma$ by any 2-homology class $\alpha$? If so, I presume this satisfy the posed question.

Maths don't display in comment section when comments get hidden, i copied them here.
Feb 14, 2010 at 22:47 comment added Hiraku Nakajima You should not delete the comments. Just add further comments. I have used your definition given in the deleted comment to conclude $\Phi_n(2H)$ is $2(line)^{[n]}$, and get a confusion. I do not understand why you choose $(quadric)^{[n]}$ yet. How about $\Phi_n(-2H)$ ? Is it $-2(line)^{[n]}$ or $-(quadric)^{[n]}$ ? Not only giving the answer, please explain the reason why you choose.
Feb 14, 2010 at 19:31 comment added James O Yes, $2H$ should be sent to the symmetric product of the quadric. Thank you Dmitri. I guess my previouss comments were not well written, so I deleated them. What I was trying to say is that I completely agree with that $\Phi_n$ could not be a homomorphism and that I am just looking for a good extension of the function $[\Sigma] \mapsto [\Sigma^{[n]}]$ to any 2-homology class. Thanks a lot Professor Nakajima and Dmitri.
Feb 14, 2010 at 14:06 comment added Dmitri Panov Dear Professor Nakajima, for James's definiton, $\Phi_n$ for $2H$ is the symmetric product of the quadric.
Feb 14, 2010 at 4:45 comment added Hiraku Nakajima Let $X$ be $P^2$ and $H$ be the hyperplane class. What is your definition of $\Phi_n$ for $2H$ ? Is it the symmetric product of a quadric or twice of the symmetric product of a line ?

Feb 13, 2010 at 5:15 comment added Hiraku Nakajima What do you mean by `a homomorphism $\Phi_n$' ? The map $\Sigma\to \Sigma^{[n]}$ is not linear in $\Sigma$.
