Milnor excision for motivic spectra

Algebraic Geometry 2021-08-06 v2 Algebraic Topology K-Theory and Homology

Abstract

We prove that the \infty-category of motivic spectra satisfies Milnor excision: if ABA\to B is a morphism of commutative rings sending an ideal IAI\subset A isomorphically onto an ideal of BB, then a motivic spectrum over AA is equivalent to a pair of motivic spectra over BB and A/IA/I that are identified over B/IBB/IB. Consequently, any cohomology theory represented by a motivic spectrum satisfies Milnor excision. We also prove Milnor excision for Ayoub's \'etale motives over schemes of finite virtual cohomological dimension.
