Abstract: 

Chern classes of manifolds and vector bundles are fundamental invariants in geometry and topology, and these are much related to indices of vector fields (or sections). The analogous theory for singular varieties has been developed since the 1960s by various authors, and even so we can say that it is still in its childhood. In this talk we shall revise some aspects of this theory with focus on the geometry.
