to clarify a preprint of Markarian [2]. The preprint by Markarian [2] proves the relative
Riemann-Roch theorem using a result describing how the HKR map fails to respect
comultiplication. This paper elaborates on the core computations in [2]. These computations
show that the HKR map twisted by the square root of the Todd genus" almost preserves" the
Mukai pairing. This settles a part of a conjecture of Caldararu [3]. The relative Riemann …
