Lemma 45.14.4. Assume given data (D0), (D1), and (D2') satisfying axioms (A1) – (A4) and (A7). Let X be a smooth projective scheme over k. Let Z \subset X be a smooth closed subscheme such that every irreducible component of Z has codimension r in X. Assume the class of \mathcal{C}_{Z/X} in K_0(Z) is the restriction of an element of K_0(X). If a \in H^*(X) and a|_ Z = 0 in H^*(Z), then \gamma ([Z]) \cup a = 0.
Proof. Let b : X' \to X be the blowing up. By (A7) it suffices to show that
b^*(\gamma ([Z]) \cup a) = b^*\gamma ([Z]) \cup b^*a = 0
By Lemma 45.14.3 we have
b^*\gamma ([Z]) = \gamma (b^*[Z]) = \gamma ([E] \cdot \theta ) = \gamma ([E]) \cup \gamma (\theta )
Hence because b^*a restricts to zero on E and since \gamma ([E]) = c^ H_1(\mathcal{O}_{X'}(E)) we get what we want from (A4). \square
