On the set of Chern numbers in local rings

Abstract

This paper purposes to characterize Noetherian local rings $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ such that the Chern numbers of certain $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideals in $R$ bounded above or range among only finitely many values. Consequently, we characterize the Gorensteinness, Cohen-Macaulayness, generalized Cohen-Macaulayness of local rings in terms of the behavior of its Chern numbers.
