The asymptotic profile of \(\chi_y\)-genera of Hilbert schemes of points on \(K3\) surfaces (Q493899)

The paper deals with Hilbert scheme of \(n\) points on a \(K3\) surfaces, which is denoted \(K3^{[n]}\). The authors first recall that Hodge numbers of such Hilbert scheme can be obtained by Göttsche's formula and from it one can observe the asymptotic behaviour, when \(n\rightarrow \infty\), of the Euler number \(\chi(S^{[n]})\) (this holds for \(S\) a complex projective surface, not necessarily a \(K3\) surface). The authors extend ideas and techniques used in previous papers [\textit{K. Bringmann} and \textit{J. Dousse},Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 368, No. 5, 3141--3155 (2016; Zbl 1331.05029)] and [\textit{K. Bringmann} and \textit{J. Manschot}, Commun. Number Theory Phys. 7, No. 3, 497--513 (2013; Zbl 1312.14106)] in order to determine the asymptotic behaviour of the \(\chi_y\)-genus of \(K3^{[n]}\). Given the Hodge polynomial \(\sum_{p,r=0}^{\dim_\mathbb C M}h^{p,r}(M)x^py^r\) of a smooth complex manifold \(M\), the \(\chi_y\)-genus is obtained by putting \(x=-1\): \[ \chi_y(M):=\sum_{p,r=0}^{\dim_\mathbb C M}h^{p,r}(M)(-1)^py^r. \] The techniques used to prove the results in the paper originates from analytic number theory and the author can express the function generating the \(\chi_y\)-genus of \(K3^{[n]}\) using eta and theta functions.
