Zeta functions, Grothendieck groups, and the Witt ring

Niranjan Ramachandran

Published 2014-07-07, updated 2014-07-10Version 2

We prove some results connecting the zeta functions of varieties over finite fields with the big Witt ring over $\mathbb Z$. We explore relations with motivic measures and a classical formula of Macdonald on invariants of symmetric products of a variety.
