Segre classes and integral dependence
Abstract
A fundamental property of Segre classes is their birational invariance. This invariance implies that the Segre class of a closed subscheme only depends on the integral closure of the defining ideal sheaf. In this paper, we show that, conversely, the Segre class of a closed subscheme encodes an integral dependence criterion for its defining ideal sheaf. As an application, we prove that Aluffi's Segre zeta function provides an integral dependence criterion for homogeneous ideals in polynomial rings.
