DG Seminar

The pluri \chi_y genus and divisibility of Chern Numbers

George Thompson

Speaker: Prof. George Thompson (ICTP, Trieste)

Title: The pluri \chi_y genus and divisibility of Chern Numbers

Time: 3:00pm, Monday, March 21, 2011

Location: 707A, Carslaw Building

Abstract: It is shown that the Hirzebruch \chi_y genus has a universal form. Determining some of the terms of this form leads to divisibility results for Chern numbers of (almost) complex manifolds.
