In this article we construct a new motivic measure called the ${\it Jacques}$ ${\it Tits}$ ${\it motivic}$ ${\it measure}$. As a first main application of the Jacques Tits motivic measure, we prove that two Severi-Brauer varieties (or, more…

Let $k$ be a field, let $R$ be a commutative ring, and assume the exponential characteristic of $k$ is invertible in $R$. In this note, we prove that isomorphisms in Voevodsky's triangulated category of motives $\mathcal{DM}(k;R)$ are…

We give a version of geometric motivic integration that specializes to p-adic integration via point counting. This has been done before for stable sets; we extend this to more general sets. The main problem in doing this is that it requires…

Let T be a torus of dimension at least k and M a T-manifold. M is a GKM_k-manifold if the action is equivariantly formal, has only isolated fixed points, and any k weights of the isotropy representation in the fixed points are linearly…

We examine homogeneous metrics on spheres and determine which ones have positive sectional curvature. The answer is subtle and surprisingly difficult to prove. In some cases we also determine their pinching constants. This completes the…

For the moduli stack $\mathcal{M}_{g,n/\mathbb{F}_p}$ of smooth curves over $\text{Spec}~\mathbb{F}_p$ with the function field $K$, we show that if $g\geq3$, then the only $K$-rational points of the generic curve over $K$ are its $n$…

We introduce in this work the notion of the category of pure $\mathbf{E}$-Motives, where $\mathbf{E}$ is a motivic strict ring spectrum and construct twisted $\mathbf{E}$-cohomology by using six functors formalism of J. Ayoub. In…

We define multideterminantal probability measures, a family of probability measures on $[k]^n$ where $[k]=\{1,2,\dots,k\}$, generalizing determinantal measures (which correspond to the case $k=2$). We give examples coming from the positive…

Mathematicians judge proofs to possess, or lack, a variety of different qualities, including, for example, explanatory power, depth, purity, beauty and fit. Philosophers of mathematical practice have begun to investigate the nature of such…

We generalize several basic facts about the motivic sphere spectrum in $\mathbb A^1$-homotopy theory to the category $\mathrm{MS}$ of non-$\mathbb A^1$-invariant motivic spectra over a derived scheme. On the one hand, we show that all the…

In this thesis, we use logarithmic methods to study motivic objects. Let R be a complete discrete valuation ring with perfect residue field k, and denote by K its fraction field. We give in chapter 2 a new construction of the motivic Serre…

We consider the "limiting behavior" of *discriminants*, by which we mean informally the locus in some parameter space of some type of object where the objects have certain singularities. We focus on the space of partially labeled points on…

We give examples of (i) a simple theory with a formula (with parameters) which does not fork over the empty set but has mu measure 0 for every automorphism invariant Keisler measure mu, and (ii) a definable group G in a simple theory such…

Grothendieck weights, introduced by Shah, are $K$-theoretic analogues of Minkowski weights on smooth toric varieties. We study Grothendieck weights on the permutohedral fan and prove two main results: a $K$-balancing condition that…

We construct a quasi-categorically enhanced Grothendieck six-functor formalism on schemes of finite type over the complex numbers. In addition to satisfying many of the same properties as M. Saito's derived categories of mixed Hodge…

The zeta-function of a complex variety is a power series whose nth coefficient is the nth symmetric power of the variety, viewed as an element in the Grothendieck ring of complex varieties. We prove that the zeta-function of a surface is…

We study the multiplicities of pure motives modulo numerical equivalence, which are defined as scalars comparing the tannakian trace with the ring-theoretic trace. Our general set-up is that of a rigid semi-simple tensor category such that…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero containing all roots of unity and $K=k((t))$. We build a ring morphism from the Grothendieck group of semi-algebraic sets over $K$ to the Grothendieck group of motives of rigid analytic varieties…

Motivic Serre invariants defined by Loeser and Sebag are elements of the Grothendieck ring of varities modulo $\mathbb{L}-1$. In this paper, we show that we can lift these invariants to modulo the square of $\mathbb{L}-1$ after tensoring…

In this note we endow Kontsevich's category KMM of noncommutative mixed motives with a non-degenerate weight structure in the sense of Bondarko. As an application we obtain a convergent weight spectral sequence for every additive invariant…
