We prove formulas for the rational Chow motives of moduli spaces of semistable vector bundles and Higgs bundles of rank 3 and coprime degree on a smooth projective curve. Our approach involves identifying criteria to lift identities in (a…

We compute the algebraic $K$-theory of some classes of surfaces defined over finite fields. We achieve this by first calculating the motivic cohomology groups and then studying the motivic Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence. In an…

We prove that if a smooth projective algebraic variety of dimension less or equal to three has a unit type integral $K$-motive, then its integral Chow motive is of Lefschetz type. As a consequence, the integral Chow motive is of Lefschetz…

This article is about motives of quadric bundles. In the case of odd dimensional fibers and where the basis is of dimension two we give an explicit relative and absolute Chow-K\"unneth decomposition. This shows that the motive of the…

These notes accompany a lecture about the topology of symplectic (and other) quotients. The aim is two-fold: first to advertise the ease of computation in the symplectic category; and second to give an account of some new computations for…

We prove that under semismall smooth flops, smooth projective varieties have (non-canonically) isomorphic Chow motives with coefficients in any noetherian local ring $\Lambda$ by comparing the pushforward of the constant intersection…

We give a survey of the background and recent development on the $K$-equivalence relation among birational manifolds. After a brief historical sketch of birational geometry, we define the $K$-partial ordering and $K$-equivalence in a…

By associating a `motivic integral' to every complex projective variety X with at worst canonical, Gorenstein singularities, Kontsevich proved that, when there exists a crepant resolution of singularities Y of X, the Hodge numbers of Y do…

We prove the existence of torus invariant almost complex structure on any positively omnioriented four dimensional primitive quasitoric orbifold. We construct pseudo-holomorphic blowdown maps for such orbifolds. We prove a version of McKay…

It is an open conjecture of Orlov that the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves of a smooth projective variety determines its Chow motive with rational coefficients. In this master's thesis we introduce a category of \emph{perfect…

Given two smooth projective varieties X and Y over a field, we say that X motivates Y if the (suitably defined) motive of Y is contained in the category generated from X by taking sums, summands and products. This notion has appeared…

Using the theory of framed correspondences developed by Voevodsky, we introduce and study framed motives of algebraic varieties. They are the major computational tool for constructing an explicit quasi-fibrant motivic replacement of the…

In this note, we describe a a systematic procedure to find toric crepant resolutions of orbifold vertex, and show that the generating series of certain disc invariants of the orbifold vertex can be suitably identified with the generating…

This paper has two aims. The former is to give an introduction to our earlier work on the Hodge theory of algebraic maps and more generally to some of the main themes of the theory of perverse sheaves and to some of its geometric…

We show that the graded Chow rings of two birational irreducible symplectic varieties are isomorphic. This lifts a result known for the cohomology algebras to the level of Chow rings, despite the non-injectivity the cycle class map. In the…

Let G be a polyhedral group, namely a finite subgroup of SO(3). Nakamura's G-Hilbert scheme provides a preferred Calabi-Yau resolution Y of the polyhedral singularity C^3/G. The classical McKay correspondence describes the classical…

We prove the existence of invariant almost complex structure on any positively omnioriented quasitoric orbifold. We construct blowdowns. We define Chen-Ruan cohomology ring for any omnioriented quasitoric orbifold. We prove that the Euler…

We state several questions, and prove some partial results, about the Chow ring $A^\ast(X)$ of complete intersections in projective space. For one thing, we prove that if $X$ is a general Calabi-Yau hypersurface, the intersection product…

In this paper, the Lawson homology and morphic cohomology are defined on the Chow motives. We also define the rational coefficient Lawson homology and morphic cohomology of the Chow motives of finite quotient projective varieties. As a…

In this article, we construct a Hecke-equivariant Chow motive whose realizations equal intersection cohomology of Siegel threefolds with regular algebraic coefficients. As a consequence, we are able to define Grothendieck motives for Siegel…
