Symmetric powers of quasi-projective schemes can be extended, in terms of left Kan extensions, to geometric symmetric powers of motivic spaces. In this paper, we study geometric symmetric powers and compare with various symmetric powers in…

We introduce the symmetricity notions of symmetric h-monoidality, symmetroidality, and symmetric flatness. As shown in our paper arXiv:1410.5675, these properties lie at the heart of the homotopy theory of colored symmetric operads and…

Constructions of spectra from symmetric monoidal categories are typically functorial with respect to strict structure-preserving maps, but often the maps of interest are merely lax monoidal. We describe conditions under which one can…

Let $\V$ be a symmetric monoidal model category and let $X$ be an object in $\V$. From this we can construct a new symmetric monoidal model category $Sp^{\Sigma}(\V,X)$ of symmetric spectra objects in $\V$ with respect to $X$, together with…

(This is an updated version; following an idea of Voevodsky, we have strengthened our results so all of them apply to one form of motivic homotopy theory). We give two general constructions for the passage from unstable to stable homotopy…

The motivic homotopy categories can be defined with respect to different topologies and different underlying categories of schemes. For a number of reasons (mainly because of the Gluing Theorem) the motivic homotopy category built out of…

We define a notion of colimit for diagrams in a motivic category indexed by a presheaf of spaces (e.g. an \'etale classifying space), and we study basic properties of this construction. As a case study, we construct the motivic analogs of…

We study semistable symmetric spectra based on quite general monoidal model categories, including motivic examples. In particular, we establish a generalization of Schwede's list of equivalent characterizations of semistability in the case…

We show that every object of the stable \'etale motivic homotopy category over any scheme is $\eta$-complete. In some cases we show that in fact the fourth power of $\eta$ is null, whereas the third power of $\eta$ is always nonvanishing,…

We combine several mini miracles to achieve an elementary understanding of infinite loop spaces and very effective spectra in the algebro-geometric setting of motivic homotopy theory. Our approach combines $\Gamma$-spaces and framed…

In this paper we study a model structure on a category of schemes with a group action and the resulting unstable and stable equivariant motivic homotopy theories. The new model structure introduced here samples a comparison to the one by…

Given a small simplicial category $\C$ whose underlying ordinary category is equipped with a Grothendieck topology $\tau$, we construct a model structure on the category of simplicially enriched presheaves on $\C$ where the weak…

We prove that the homotopy theory of parsummable categories (as defined by Schwede) with respect to the underlying equivalences of categories is equivalent to the usual homotopy theory of symmetric monoidal categories. In particular, this…

Pseudo horizontally weakly conformal maps extend both holomorphic and (semi)conformal maps into an almost Hermitian manifold. We find in this larger class critical points for the (generalized) Faddeev-Hopf energy. Their stability is also…

Given an algebraic theory which can be described by a (possibly symmetric) operad $P$, we propose a definition of the \emph{weakening} (or \emph{categorification}) of the theory, in which equations that hold strictly for $P$-algebras hold…

The symmetric spectra introduced by Hovey, Shipley and Smith are a convenient model for the stable homotopy category with a nice associative and commutative smash product on the point set level and a compatible Quillen closed model…

We discuss the stabilization of symmetric products Sym^n(X) of a smooth projective variety X in the Grothendieck ring of varieties. For smooth projective surfaces X with non-zero h^0(X, \omega_X), these products do not stabilize; we…

We construct a Quillen model structure on the category of spectral categories, where the weak equivalences are the symmetric spectra analogue of the notion of equivalence of categories.

We discuss some results and conjectures related to the existence of the non-nilpotent motivic maps $\eta$ and $\mu_9$. To this purpose, we establish a theory of power operations for motivic $H_{\infty}$-spectra. Using this, we show that the…

Conjecture F from [VW12] states that the complements of closures of certain strata of the symmetric power of a smooth irreducible complex variety exhibit rational homological stability. We prove a generalization of this conjecture to the…
