Motivic classes of Fano schemes of lines on intersections of two quadrics
Abstract
Let X⊂ℙN be a smooth complete intersection of two quadrics. We find formulas in the Grothendieck ring of varieties for the class of X and for the class of its Fano scheme of lines, thereby proving the first two cases of a conjecture of Belmans et al. We also find a formula for the class of the relative Fano schemes of linear subspaces (of any dimension) in the fibers of quadric fibrations over curves, under a simple degeneration assumption. As consequences, we compute the rational Chow motive of the relative Fano scheme, and we provide evidence for a conjecture of Shah on a residual category in a semiorthogonal decomposition of the relative Fano scheme of lines.
