Abstract: I will talk about various restrictions on Chern classes of vector bundles on algebraic varieties. One of the most important is Bogomolov's inequality saying that the degree of the discriminant of a semistable vector bundle on a smooth complex algebraic variety is non-negative. The degree zero case essentially corresponds to flat vector bundles. There are also versions of this inequality for Higgs bundles and in positive characteristic. I will talk about some applications of Bogomolov's inequality and its possible variants in the Chow ring of the variety.
