Mar 30, 2012 at 11:54 comment added Johannes Nordström $p^*(c_2(X))\cdot E$ is the integral of $p^*(c_2(X))$ over $E$. But $p$ restricted to $E$ is the constant map.
Mar 30, 2012 at 11:41 comment added gio I am interested in when $X$ is a 3-fold and when the hyperplane section $H_{\widetilde{X}}$ of $\widetilde{X}$ is $p^{\ast}(H_{X})-E$ ($E$ the exceptional divisor). By Georges Elencwajg's answer I see $c_2(\widetilde{X})=p^{\ast}(c_2(X))$ and hence $\deg(c_2(\widetilde{X}))=c_2(\widetilde{X})\cdot (p^{\ast}(H_{X})-E)=c_2(X)\cdot H_{X}-p^{\ast}(c_2(X))\cdot E$, but but why you say that $p^{\ast}(c_2(X))\cdot E=0$?
