Hodge-Deligne polynomials of character varieties of abelian groups

Let F be a finite group and X be a complex quasi-projective F-variety. For r in N, we consider the mixed Hodge-Deligne polynomials of quotients X^r/F, where F acts diagonally, and compute them for certain classes of varieties X with simple mixed Hodge structures. A particularly interesting case is when X is the maximal torus of an affine reductive group G, and F is its Weyl group. As an application, we obtain explicit formulae for the Hodge-Deligne and E-polynomials of (the distinguished component of) G-character varieties of free abelian groups. In the cases G=GL(n,C) and SL(n,C) we get even more concrete expressions for these polynomials, using the combinatorics of partitions.

Hodge-Deligne Polynomials of Symmetric Products of Algebraic Groups

Let $X$ be a complex quasi-projective algebraic variety. In this paper we study the mixed Hodge structures of the symmetric products $Sym^{n}X$ when the cohomology of $X$ is given by exterior products of cohomology classes with odd degree. We obtain an expression for the equivariant mixed Hodge polynomials $μ_{X^{n}}^{S_{n}}\left(t,u,v\right)$, codifying the permutation action of $S_{n}$ as well as its subgroups. This allows us to deduce formulas for the mixed Hodge polynomials of its symmetric products $μ_{Sym^{n}X}\left(t,u,v\right)$. These formulas are then applied to the case of linear algebraic groups.
