DELIGNE-RIEMANN-ROCH AND INTERSECTION BUNDLES

Journal article, 2024

This article is part of a series of works by the authors with the goal of completing a far-reaching program propounded by Deligne, aiming to extend the codimension one part of the Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem from isomorphism classes of line bundles to canonical isomorphisms thereof. The paper develops a relative functorial intersection theory with values in line bundles, together with a formalism that generalizes previous constructions by Deligne and Elkik, related to the right-hand side of the theorem.
