Abstract:
Let be a complex -plane bundle over the total space of a cyclic covering of prime index . We show that for the -th Chern class of the transferred bundle differs from a certain transferred class of by a polynomial in the Chern classes of the transferred bundle. The polynomials are defined by the formal group law and certain equalities in .
