New appendix: An effective expression for the decomposition of Fano schemes of intersections of two quadrics 0 ▲ Pieter Belmans 1 hour ago · Science · hide · 0 comments This post concerns the appendix (in its standalone version, written by me) to Lena Ji and Fumiaki Suzuki's paper on motivic classes of Fano schemes of lines. A few years ago we wrote a paper on decompositions of Fano schemes of linear subspaces on intersections of two quadrics. For $g\ge 2$ and $0\le k\le g-2$, consider a smooth intersection $Q_1\cap Q_2\subset\mathbb{P}^{2g+1}$ with associated hyperelliptic curve $C$. One of our conjectures predicts the following identity in $\mathrm{K}_0(\mathrm{Var})$: \begin{equation} [\mathrm{F}_k(Q_1\cap Q_2)] = \sum_{i=0}^{k+1}\mathrm{M}_{g,k,i}(\mathbb{L})[\operatorname{Sym}^i C], \end{equation} where $\mathbb{L}=[\mathbb{A}^1]$, $\operatorname{Sym}^i C$ is the $i$th symmetric power of $C$, and for $0\le i\le k+1$, the coefficient is \begin{equation} \begin{aligned} \mathrm{M}_{g,k,i}(\mathbb{L}) ={}&\mathbb{L}^{i(g-k-1)}\Biggl( \binom{2g-k-i}{k+1-i}_{\mathbb{L}}\\ &-\bigl(\mathbb{L}^{g-k-1}+\mathbb{L}^{g+2k-3i}\bigr)… No comments yet.
