D.15.14.6 BettiNumsS

Procedure from library goettsche.lib (see goettsche_lib).

Usage:
BettiNumsS(n, b); n integer, b list of non-negative integers

Return:
list of non-negative integers

Purpose:
computes the Betti numbers of the n-th symmetric power of a variety with Betti numbers b

Note:
an empty list is returned if n<0 or b is not a list of non-negative integers

Example:
 
LIB "goettsche.lib";
ring r=0, (z), ls;
// consider a complex torus T (elliptic curve) with Betti numbers 1,2,1
list b=1,2,1;
// get the Betti numbers of the second symmetric power of T
print( BettiNumsS(2, b) );
