Journal ArticleDOI

Chern classes for singular hypersurfaces

TL;DR: In this article, a formula expressing the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class of a hypersurface in a nonsingular variety as a variation on another definition of the homology Chern class of singular varieties, introduced by W. Fulton, is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Computing characteristic classes of projective schemes

TL;DR: An algorithm computing the push-forward to projective space of several classes associated to a (possibly singular, reducible, non-reduced) projective scheme yields the topological Euler characteristic of the support of a projective schemes S, given the homogeneous ideal of S.
Journal ArticleDOI

New orientifold weak coupling limits in F-theory

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present new explicit constructions of weak coupling limits of F-theory generalizing Sen's construction to elliptic fibrations which are not necessary given in a Weierstrass form.
Journal ArticleDOI

Feynman motives of banana graphs

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the infinite family of Feynman graphs known as the "banana graphs" and compute explicitly the classes of the corresponding graph hypersurfaces in the Grothendieck ring of varieties as well as their Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson classes, using the classical Cremona transformation and the dual graph, and a blowup formula for characteristic classes.
Journal ArticleDOI

MacPherson's and Fulton's Chern classes of hypersurfaces

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare two notions of Chern class of an algebraic scheme X (over C) specializing to the Chern class for the tangent bundle c(TX) ∩ [X] when X is nonsingular.
