Abstract: In this series of papers, we propose a theory of enumerative invariants counting self-dual objects in self-dual categories. Ordinary enumerative invariants in abelian categories can be seen as invariants for the structure group $mathrmGL(n)$, and our theory is an extension of this to structure groups $mathrmO(n)$ and $mathrmSp(2n)$. Examples of our invariants include invariants counting principal orthogonal or symplectic bundles, and invariants counting self-dual quiver representations. In the present paper, we take the motivic approach, and define our invariants as elements in a ring of motives. One can also extract numerical invariants from these invariants. We prove wall-crossing formulae relating our invariants for different stability conditions. We also provide an explicit algorithm computing invariants for quiver representations, and we present some numerical results.
