Lemma 41.53.3. Let $(S, \delta )$ be as in Situation 41.7.1. Let $X$ be a scheme locally of finite type over $S$. Let $\mathcal{N}$ be a virtual normal sheaf for a closed subscheme $Z$ of $X$. Suppose that we have a short exact sequence $0 \to \mathcal{N}' \to \mathcal{N} \to \mathcal{E} \to 0$ of finite locally free $\mathcal{O}_ Z$-modules such that the given surjection $\sigma : \mathcal{N}^\vee \to \mathcal{C}_{Z/X}$ factors through a map $\sigma ' : (\mathcal{N}')^\vee \to \mathcal{C}_{Z/X}$. Then

$c(Z \to X, \mathcal{N}) = c_{top}(\mathcal{E}) \circ c(Z \to X, \mathcal{N}')$

as bivariant classes.

Proof. Denote $N' \to N$ the closed immersion of vector bundles corresponding to the surjection $\mathcal{N}^\vee \to (\mathcal{N}')^\vee$. Then we have closed immersions

$C_ ZX \to N' \to N$

Thus the desired relationship between the bivariant classes follows immediately from Lemma 41.43.2. $\square$
