Resumen:

The Grothendieck ring of Chow motives admits two natural opposite λ-ring structures, one of which is a special structure allowing the definition of Adams operations on the ring. In this work I present algorithms which allow an effective simplification of expressions that involve both λ-ring structures, as well as Adams operations. In particular, these algorithms allow the symbolic simplification of algebraic expressions in the sub-λ-ring of motives generated by a finite set of curves into polynomial expressions in a small set of motivic generators. As a consequence, the explicit computation of motives of some moduli spaces is performed, allowing the computational verification of some conjectural formulas for these spaces.

Resumen divulgativo:

Este trabajo presenta algoritmos que simplifican expresiones en el anillo de Grothendieck de motivos de Chow que involucran sus estructuras de λ-anillo y operaciones de Adams. Se calculan los motivos de algunos espacios de moduli, verificando computacionalmente fórmulas conjeturales para ellos.
