Higher Chern classes in Iwasawa theory
Higher Chern classes in Iwasawa theory
We begin a study of $m$th Chern classes and $m$th characteristic symbols for Iwasawa modules which are supported in codimension at least $m$. This extends the classical theory of characteristic ideals and their generators for Iwasawa modules which are torsion, i.e., supported in codimension at least $1$. We apply this …
