0. Introduction. For a possibly singular complex algebraic or analytic variety X there are (at least) three kinds of Chern classes available. One is the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class [3 and 17], denoted cSt(X). This was first constructed by M.-H. Schwartz using radial vector fields, then its existence as a natural transformation of functors was conjectured by P. Deligne and A. Grothendieck and was proved by R. MacPherson. Another is the Clern-Mather class, denoted Ct(X). This is defined via the Nash blow-up and is, roughly speaking, the Chern class of the limiting tangent bundle of the smooth part of X. The relation between these two classes is another aspect of MacPherson’s theory, which expresses cS(x) in terms of C(M) and the extra terms supported on the singular locus. This theorem is proved by introducing the local Euler obstruction, which also appears in the Dubson-Kashiwara index [4 and 12]. The third is the canonical class or Fulton-Johnson’s Chern class [7 and 8], denoted CFI(X). This is defined in terms of the Segre class of X and is relatively easy to understand when X is a local complete intersection. These three classes are identical when the variety has no singularities, thus the differences among them are expected to be expressible in terms of certain invariants of singularities. For a (strong) local complete intersection X with isolated singularities, in [19] is proved a formula expressing cSt(X) in terms of CFI(X) and the Milnor numbers of the singularities. The purpose of this note is to report an observation that this formula together with other already known formulas implies an interesting and possibly promising formula relating Ct(X) and CFY(X) for such varieties X (see Theorem 3.3 below).
