%0 Journal Article %T Motivic characteristic classes %A Shoji Yokura %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %X Motivic characteristic classes of possibly singular algebraic varieties are homology class versions of motivic characteristics, not classes in the so-called motivic (co)homology. This paper is a survey on them with more emphasis on capturing infinitude finitely and on the motivic nature, in other words, the scissor relation or additivity. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0812.4584v2
