ctop(AbstractSheaf) -- the top Chern class of an abstract sheaf

Synopsis

Description

Here we compute the top Chern class of a vector bundle of rank 6 on the way toward getting the number of lines on quintic threefold.

i1 : G = flagBundle{3,2}

o1 = G

o1 : a flag bundle with subquotient ranks {3, 2}
i2 : B = symmetricPower_5 last bundles G

o2 = B

o2 : an abstract sheaf of rank 6 on G
i3 : ctop B

o3 = 2875H
          2,2
