Abstract

Costello’s pushforward formula relates virtual fundamental classes of virtually birational algebraic stacks. Its original formulation omits a necessary hypothesis, whose addition is not sufficient to correct the proof. We supply a substitute for Costello’s notion of pure degree and prove the pushforward formula with this definition. We also show the hypotheses of the corrected pushforward formula are satisfied in a variety of its applications. Some adjustments to the original proofs are required in several cases, including the original one.
