Leonardo Mihalcea, Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson classes for Schubert cells: geometry and representation theory
SAS 4201A compact manifold has a tangent bundle, and a natural question is to find a replacement for the Chern classes of the tangent bundle, in the case when the space is singular. The Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson (CSM) classes are homology classes which ``behave like" the Chern classes of the tangent bundle, and are determined by a functoriality…
