For a smooth, projective scheme $X$ over a field $k$ or any variety $X$ if $k$ has characteristic zero, we compute the compactly supported $\mathbb{A}^1$-Euler characteristic of $\operatorname{Sym}^2(X)$ if $\operatorname{char}(k) \ne 2$…

Let k be a field of characteristic not 2. We conjecture that if X is a quasi-projective k-variety with trivial motivic Euler characteristic, then Sym$^n$X has trivial motivic Euler characteristic for all n. Conditional on this conjecture,…

We compute the Euler characteristics of tautological vector bundles and their exterior powers over the Quot schemes of curves. We give closed-form expressions over punctual Quot schemes in all genera. For higher rank quotients of a trivial…

Let $k$ be a field and let $\text{GW}(k)$ be the Grothendieck-Witt ring of virtual non-degenerate symmetric bilinear forms over $k$. We develop methods for computing the quadratic Euler characteristic $\chi(X/k)\in \text{GW}(k)$ for $X$ a…

The $\mathbb{A}^1$-Euler characteristic is a refinement in algebraic geometry of the classical topological Euler characteristic, which can be constructed using motivic homotopy theory. This invariant is a quadratic form rather than an…

For $k$ a field, we construct a power structure on the Grothendieck--Witt ring of $k$ which has the potential to be compatible with symmetric powers of varieties and the motivic Euler characteristic. We then show this power structure is…

The apparatus of motivic stable homotopy theory provides a notion of Euler characteristic for smooth projective varieties, valued in the Grothendieck-Witt ring of the base field. Previous work of the first author and recent work of…

The Gauss-Bonnet theorem for a polyhedron (a union of finitely many compact convex polytopes) in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space expresses the Euler characteristic of the polyhedron as a sum of certain curvatures, which are different from…

We write the Euler characteristic X(G) of a four dimensional finite simple geometric graph G=(V,E) in terms of the Euler characteristic X(G(w)) of two-dimensional geometric subgraphs G(w). The Euler curvature K(x) of a four dimensional…
