Chern classes of a smooth hypersurface cotangent bundle
ID: chern-classes-of-a-smooth-hypersurface-cotangent-bundle
For a smooth degree- projective hypersurface , put . The cotangent Euler sequence in homogeneous coordinates gives . The Conormal exact sequence for Kähler differentials and Whitney sum formula for Chern classes therefore yield . In codimension , its coefficient is . Higher classes vanish by rank and dimension; the formal quotient is truncated in the Chow ring.
