Motivic integration for singular Artin stacks

Algebraic Geometry 2023-09-21 v1

Abstract

Let XY\mathcal{X} \to Y be a birational modification of a variety by an Artin stack. In previous work, under the assumption that X\mathcal{X} is smooth, we proved a change of variables formula relating motivic integrals over arcs of YY to motivic integrals over arcs of X\mathcal{X}. In this paper, we extend that result to the case where X\mathcal{X} is singular. We may therefore apply this generalized formula to the so-called warping stack W(X)\mathscr{W}(\mathcal{X}) of X\mathcal{X}, which may be singular even when X\mathcal{X} is smooth. We thus obtain a change of variables formula \emph{canonically} expressing any given motivic integral over arcs of YY as a motivic integral over \emph{warped arcs} of X\mathcal{X}.
