Riemann-Roch Algebra

by William Fulton and Serge Lang

Book Overview

In various contexts of topology, algebraic geometry, and algebra (e.g. group representations), one meets the following situation. One has two contravariant functors K and A from a certain category to the category of rings, and a natural transformation p: K--+A of contravariant functors. The Chern character being the central exam- ple, we call the homomorphisms Px: K(X)--+ A(X) characters. Given f: X--+ Y, we denote the pull-back homomorphisms by and...
