A Wall Crossing Formula for Motivic Enumerative Invariants

Algebraic Geometry 2025-02-05 v3

Abstract

We prove an analog of the wall crossing formula for Welschinger invariants relating the difference of signed curve counting of real curves passing through configurations that differ by a pair of complex conjugated points, and a correspondence Welschinger invariant of the blow up. We prove this analogue for the motivic count of rational curves of fixed degree passing through a generic configuration of points, counted with a motivic multiplicity in the Grothendieck-Witt ring of a base field, extending the notions in the correspondence theorem between motivic invariants for kk-rational point conditions and tropical curves. We use this formula to compute the degree 4 motivic enumerative invariants of the projective plane counting curves passing through configurations of points defined over quadratic extensions of a base field.
