Equivariant Segre and Verlinde invariants for Quot schemes

Segre and Verlinde series have been studied in many cases, including virtual geometries of Quot schemes on surfaces and Calabi–Yau 4-folds. Our work is the first to address the equivariant setting for both C² and C⁴ by examining higher degree contributions which have no compact analogue. (i) For C² , we work mostly with virtual geometries of Quot schemes. After connecting the equivariant series in degree zero to the existing results of the first author for compact surfaces, we extend the Segre–Verlinde correspondence to all degrees and to the reduced virtual classes. Additionally, we conjecture that there is an equivariant symmetry of Segre series, which was also observed in the compact setting. (ii) For C⁴ , we give further motivation for the definition of the Verlinde series. Based on empirical data andtorsiopn additional structural results, we conjecture that there is an equivariant Segre–Verlinde correspondence and Segre symmetry analogous to the one for C² .
