Equivariant Chern Classes of Toric Vector Bundles over a DVR and Bruhat--Tits Buildings

Abstract

We define equivariant Chern classes of a toric vector bundle over a proper toric scheme over a DVR. We provide a combinatorial description of them in terms of piecewise polynomial functions on the polyhedral complex associated to the toric scheme, which factorize through to an extended Bruhat--Tits building. We further motivate this definition from an arithmetic perspective, connecting to the non-Archimedean Arakelov theory of toric varieties.
