We prove a number of vanishing results for those characteristic classes, and give explicit examples of families with non-vanishing characteristic classes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-10-24T15:23:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "explicit examples", "coefficients", "low degrees", "non-vanishing characteristic classes", "cohomology classes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1410.6708T" } } }
