BĂ©zoutians and the $\mathbb{A}^1$-degree

Thomas Brazelton, Stephen McKean and Sabrina Pauli

Vol. 17 (2023), No. 11, 1985–2012
Abstract

We prove that both the local and global 𝔸1-degree of an endomorphism of affine space can be computed in terms of the multivariate Bézoutian. In particular, we show that the Bézoutian bilinear form, the Scheja–Storch form, and the 𝔸1-degree for complete intersections are isomorphic. Our global theorem generalizes Cazanave’s theorem in the univariate case, and our local theorem generalizes Kass–Wickelgren’s theorem on EKL forms and the local degree. This result provides an algebraic formula for local and global degrees in motivic homotopy theory.
