Geometric interpretation of pairing between bordism and cobordism

In page 448 of these notes, a pairing between bordism and cobordism $$\langle \ ,\ \rangle: U^m(X)\otimes U_n(X)\rightarrow \Omega^U_{n-m}$$ is defined as follows. Assume $x\in U^m$ is represented by $...

How to compute the class defined by intersection with a square?

$\DeclareMathOperator\Gr{Gr}$Let $\Gr(k,n+k)$ (of course, one can do also for $\Gr(k,\infty)$) be the complex Grassmannian of $k$-planes in $n+k$-dimensional linear space. It is well-known that ...

Obstruction to finding a Whitney disk

Let $p,q\geq 3$ be integers. Let $M$ be a compact oriented smooth $(p+q)$-manifold and $P$ and $Q$ compact submanifolds of dimensions $p$ and $q$ intersecting transversely. Assume that $M,P$ and $Q$ ...

Is complex surface in CP(3) a two handlebody?

Consider a complex surface given by homogeneous equation in $\mathbb{C}P^3$. Without loss of generality, take \begin{equation} S = \{[x:y:z:w] \in \mathbb{C}P^3~ |~ x^d + y^d + z^d + w^d = 0\} \end{...

Intersection theory on normal crossing algebraic surfaces

Let $X$ be an algebraic surface with normal crossing singularities. Suppose the singular locus of $X$ is a smooth curve. Let us denote it by $C$. Suppose $D$ is another smooth curve in $X$ which ...

Functoriality of Chern-Fulton's class

Let $X$ be a, possibly singular, algebraic variety embedded as a closed subvariety of a manifold $M$ with map $i : X \rightarrow M$, and $\pi : \tilde{M} \rightarrow M$ be a proper birational map with ...

A question on the Chow group on stacks

Let $X$ be a separated Deligne-Mumford stack finite type over the ground field. Then there is a Chow group $A_*(X)$ of $X$ which is well-behaved under flat pull-back, defined as follows. Let $\...

Topological vs algebraic intersection forms

Let $X$ be a simply connected complex projective surface (hence a real $4$-manifold). Let $(H^2(X,\mathbb Z)/\mathrm{tors}, q_X)$, $(A^1(X)/\mathrm{tors},q_X')$ be the corresponding lattices in ...

$ch(L f^*\epsilon)$

I know the famous principle (or theorem depending on how you define) of Chern classes for locally free sheaves and a morphism $f: X'\rightarrow X$, $ch(f^* \epsilon)=f^* ch(\epsilon)$. But if $f$ ...

Zero Dimension Intersection

Let $M$ be smooth and purely $r$-dimensional, $E$ be a vector bundle of rank $r$ over $M$, $s$ be a regular section of $E$ and $Z$ the zero scheme of $s$. Then $[Z]$ is dual to the top Chern class $...
