Quadratic Euler characteristic of symmetric powers of curves
摘要
We compute the quadratic Euler characteristic of the symmetric powers of a smooth, projective curve over any field k that is not of characteristic two, using the Motivic Gauss–Bonnet Theorem of Levine–Raksit. As an application, we show that the power structure on the Grothendieck–Witt ring introduced by Pajwani–Pál computes the compactly supported
