Let X be a complex projective manifold and (E, h) → X be a rank r holomorphic hermitian vector bundle. Let Qj, j = 1, . . . , r, be the tautological quotient line bundles over the flag bundle F(E) → X, endowed with the natural metric induced by that of E, with Chern curvature Ξj. We show that the universal Gysin formula à la Darondeau-Pragacz for the push forward of a homogeneous polynomial in the Chern classes of the Qj's also hold pointwise at the level of Chern forms in this hermitianized situation.As an application, we show the positivity of several polynomials in the Chern forms of a Griffiths positive vector bundle not previously known, thus giving some new evidences towards a conjecture by Griffiths, which is in turn a pointwise hermitianized version of the Fulton-Lazarsfeld Theorem on numerically positive polynomials for ample vector bundles.
