Lemma 45.6.2. Let $p : P \to X$ be as in Lemma 45.6.1. The class $[\Delta _ P]$ of the diagonal of $P$ in $\mathop{\mathrm{CH}}\nolimits ^*(P \times P)$ can be written as
where $\mathcal{S}$ is the kernel of the canonical surjection $p^*\mathcal{E} \to \mathcal{O}_ P(1)$.
Proof. Observe that $(p \times p)^*[\Delta _ X] = [P \times _ X P]$. Since $\Delta _ P \subset P \times _ X P \subset P \times P$ and since capping with Chern classes commutes with proper pushforward (Chow Homology, Lemma 42.38.4) it suffices to show that the class of $\Delta _ P \subset P \times _ X P$ in $\mathop{\mathrm{CH}}\nolimits ^*(P \times _ X P)$ is equal to
where $q_ i : P \times _ X P \to P$, $i = 1, 2$ are the projections. Set $q = p \circ q_1 = p \circ q_2 : P \times _ X P \to X$. Consider the maps
where the final arrow is the pullback by $q$ of the evaluation map $\mathcal{E} \otimes _{\mathcal{O}_ X} \mathcal{E}^\vee \to \mathcal{O}_ X$. The source of the composition is a module locally free of rank $r - 1$ and a local calculation shows that this map vanishes exactly along $\Delta _ P$. By Chow Homology, Lemma 42.44.1 the class $[\Delta _ P]$ is the top Chern class of the dual
The desired result follows from Chow Homology, Lemma 42.39.1. $\square$
