Transfers and Unstable Degrees in the $\mathbb{A}^{1}$-Brouwer Degrees Package for Macaulay2

Abstract

We describe a significant update to the Macaulay2 package A1BrouwerDegrees. We extend several methods in the previous version of the package to the setting of finite \'{e}tale algebras, allowing the computation of transfers along finite \'{e}tale extensions. Additionally, we implement a number of new features for the computation of unstable $\mathbb{A}^{1}$-Brouwer degrees and manipulation of classes in the unstable Grothendieck--Witt group.
