Oct 30, 2010 at 15:06 comment added Arend Bayer Yes, effective means it is a non-zero sum of classes of subvarieties. You can deduce this from Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch - the key point is that the Todd class always starts with 1 in the top degree. However, a better argument is to use Hirzebruch-Riemann-Roch: if the Chern character is trivial, then the Hilbert polynomial is trivial by HRR, hence the sheaf is trivial.
Oct 29, 2010 at 15:21 comment added TonyS Thanks, that's interesting and more general. What does effective mean in this case, e.g. in the Chow ring? $ch_d(Q)$ is a sum of codimension d subvarieties, and all coefficient are non negative? And how can i see that $ch_d(Q)$ has to be effective in this case? –
