ch -- Chern character of the Hodge bundle

Description

This is an element in the ring created by hodgeRing. It is the $a$-th graded part of the Chern character of the Hodge bundle on ${\bar M}_{g,n}$.

Examples

Here is a simple example which calculates $\int_{{\bar M}_{1,1}} ch_1$. 

i1 : R = hodgeRing (1, 1);
 
i2 : ch_1

o2 = ch
       1

o2 : R
 
i3 : integral(1, 1, ch_1)

o3 = --
