Generators of the algebraic symplectic bordism ring

Abstract

In this paper, we study the η\eta-completed part of the motivic spectrum MSp\text{MSp} constructed by Panin and Walter, representing the universal Sp\text{Sp}-oriented cohomology theory. In particular, we investigate the inclusion (MSpη)MGL(\text{MSp}^\wedge_\eta)^*\hookrightarrow \text{MGL}^* of the cofficient rings, by studying the motivic Adams spectral sequence associated to MSp\text{MSp}, mimiking a strategy used by Levine,Yang, Zhao for MSL\text{MSL}^*. In order to give a description of (MSpη)(\text{MSp}^\wedge_\eta)^*, we refine the Pontryagin-Thom construction in a way that allows one to obtain symplectic bordism classes from a large family of varieties that carry a certain "symplectic twist", and we prove a criterion to select generators among these classes.
