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 $\...

Computing Massey products via intersection theory
Let $K$ be an $n$-manifold with boundary and let $x,y,z \in H^*(K)$ be cohomology classes with $x\cup y=y\cup z=0$.
The Massey product $\langle x,y,z \rangle$ is defined as the set of cohomology ...

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 ...

$ch(L f^*\epsilon)$
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 $f$ ...
