Stringy motives of symmetric products

Abstract

Given a complex smooth algebraic variety X, we compute the generating function of the stringy motives of its symmetric powers as a function of motive of X. In dimension two we recover the Goettsche formulas for Hilbert schemes. We use the formalism of lambda-rings to get a particularly compact formula, which is convenient for explicit computations.
