Abstract:
S. Cappell and J. Shaneson (Stratifiable maps and topological invariants, J. Amer. Math. Soc. 4 (1991), 521-551) have recently developed a theory of homology $L$-classes, extending Goresky-MacPherson’s homology $L$-classes. In this paper we show that Cappell-Shaneson’s homology $L$-classes for compact complex, possibly singular, algebraic varieties can be interpreted as a unique natural transformation from a covariant cobordism function $\Omega$ to the ${\mathbf {Q}}$-homology functor ${H_{\ast }}(;{\mathbf {Q}})$ satisfying a certain normalization condition, just like MacPherson’s Chern classes and Baum-Fulton-MacPherson’s Todd classes.References
