Wang's universal Chern-class conjecture for tautological bundles on symmetric products of curves

Let CC be a smooth projective curve and let ErE_r be a vector bundle of rank rr on CC. Write C[n]C^{[n]} for the Hilbert scheme of nn points on CC, c(Er[n])c(E_r^{[n]}) for the total Chern class, dr=Cc(Er)d_r=\int_C c(E_r), and ee for the Euler number of CC. Let AnrA_n^r, BnrB_n^r, CnrC_n^r, and DnrD_n^r be integers depending only on rr and nn.

Wang's conjecture. One has

n=0znC[n]c(Er[n])=exp(n=1znn(Anrdr+Bnre)),\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} z^n \int_{C^{[n]}} c(E_r^{[n]})=\exp\left(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{z^n}{n}(A_n^r d_r+B_n^r e)\right),

and

n=0znnC[n]c(Er[n])=exp(n=1znn(Cnr(dr)+Dnre)),\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{z^n}{n} \int_{C^{[n]}} c(-E_r^{[n]})=\exp\left(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{z^n}{n}(C_n^r(-d_r)+D_n^r e)\right),

where

Anr=(1)n+1(rn1n1),Cnr=(1)n(rn1n1)=(1)n1Anr+1,Dnr=(1)nBnr+1.A_n^r=(-1)^{n+1}\binom{rn-1}{n-1},\qquad C_n^r=(-1)^n\binom{-rn-1}{n-1}=(-1)^{n-1}A_n^{r+1},\qquad D_n^r=(-1)^nB_n^{r+1}.

The conjecture predicts universal coefficients for total Chern-class integrals on symmetric products of curves. The paper establishes the relevant cases and reports verification for several ranks and low values of nn, but the supplied text does not establish the full conjecture; it also notes that the analogous surface conjecture is known for K3 surfaces.
