Abstract: Let $G$ be a complex reductive group and $mathcal{X}_{r}G$ denote the $G$-character variety of the free group of rank $r$. Using geometric methods, we prove that $E(mathcal{X}_{r}S{L}_n)=E(mathcal{X}_{r}PG{L}_n)$, for any $n,rinmathbbN$, where E(X) denotes the Serre (also known as E-) polynomial of the complex quasi-projective variety $X$, settling a conjecture of Lawton-Mu~noz in [LM]. The proof involves the stratification by polystable type introduced in [FNZ], and shows moreover that the equality of E-polynomials holds for every stratum and, in particular, for the irreducible stratum of $mathcal{X}_{r}S{L}_n$ and $mathcal{X}_{r}PG{L}_n$. We also present explicit computations of these polynomials, and of the corresponding Euler characteristics, based on our previous results and on formulas of Mozgovoy-Reineke for $G{L}_n$-character varieties over finite fields.
