Overview
Explore the mathematical theory of Thom polynomials and their higher-order variants in this one-hour lecture from KU Leuven's Irma Pallares. Delve into the fundamental relationships between quotient Chern classes and power series, examining how higher Thom polynomials connect to the Chern classes of singular spaces. Learn about the interconnections between Thom polynomial theory and other characteristic class theories, while discovering their practical applications in mathematical research.
