Abstract
We construct a perfect version of Morel--Voevodsky's motivic homotopy category over a perfect base scheme in positive characteristic. By checking the axioms of a coefficient system, we establish a six-functor formalism. We show that multiplication by is already invertible in the perfect motivic homotopy catgory. By work of Elmanto--Khan the functor sending an -scheme to the category is invariant under universal homeomorphisms, hence under perfections. Our result gives an explicit model for the localization of at the universal homeomorphisms, which we conclude is the same as .
