Abstract

In this paper we give a formula for the Hirzebruch χy\chi_y-genus χy(X)\chi_y(X) and similarly for the motivic Hirzebruch class Ty(X)T_{y*}(X) for possibly singular varieties XX, using the Vandermonde matrix. Motivated by the notion of secondary Euler characteristic and higher Euler characteristic, we consider a similar notion for the motivic Hirzebruch class, which we call a \emph{derived motivic Hirzebruch class}
