Grothendieck first defined the notion of a "motif" as a way of finding a universal cohomology theory for algebraic varieties. Although this program has not been realized, Voevodsky has constructed a triangulated category of geometric…
The de Rham stack construction of Simpson shows that D-modules are quasicoherent sheaves on a modified geometry. Drinfeld furthermore introduced the ring stack perspective (aka transmutation), which asserts that a coefficient theory is…
In this article, we develop a theory of Grothendieck's six operations for derived categories in \'etale cohomology of Artin stacks, for both torsion and adic coefficients. We prove several desired properties of the operations, including the…
We revisit classical results of Serre, Fr\"ohlich and Saito in the theory of quadratic forms. Given a neutral Tannakian category $(\mathcal{T},\omega)$ over a field $k$ of characteristic $\neq 2$, another fiber functor $\eta$ over a…
We define a new perverse t-exact pullback operation on derived categories of constructible sheaves which generalizes most perverse t-exact functors in sheaf theory, such as microlocalization, the Fourier-Sato transform and vanishing cycles.…
In this note we describe very explicitly a rich family of mixed motives that generates Voevodsky's $DM^{eff}_{gm}{\mathbb{Q}}$ (as a triangulated category). They "should be" mixed since they have only one non-zero Betti cohomology group.…
We construct a period regulator for motivic cohomology of an algebraic scheme over a subfield of the complex numbers. For the field of algebraic numbers we formulate a period conjecture for motivic cohomology by saying that this period…
We prove that the projectors arising from the decomposition theorem applied to a projective map of quasi projective varieties are absolute Hodge, Andr\'e motivated, Tate and Ogus classes. As a by-product, we introduce, in characteristic…
We investigate the relations between the Grothendieck group of coherent modules of an algebraic variety and its Chow group of algebraic cycles modulo rational equivalence. Those are in essence torsion phenomena, which we attempt to control…
Let EHM be Nori's category of effective homological mixed motives. In this paper, we consider the thick abelian subcategory EHM_1 generated by the i-th relative homology of pairs of varieties for i = 0,1. We show that EHM_1 is naturally…
We study the category $DM(S)$ of Beilinson motives (as described by Cisinski and Deglise) over a more or less general base scheme $S$, and establish several nice properties for a version $t_{hom}(S)$ of the perverse homotopy $t$-structure…
Following [14], we compute the motivic cohomology ring of the Nisnevich classifying space of the unitary group associated to the standard split hermitian form of a quadratic extension. This provides us with subtle characteristic classes…
We construct a family of additive endomorphisms $\Psi_k, k=1, 2...$ of the Grothendieck ring of quasiprojective varieties and the Grothendieck ring of Chow motives similar to the Adams operations in the K-theory. The speciality of the…
Grothendieck-Chow motives of quadric hypersurfaces have provided many insights into the theory of quadratic forms. Subsequently, the landscape of motives of more general projective homogeneous varieties has begun to emerge. In particular,…
Let k be a finite base field. In this note, making use of topological periodic cyclic homology and of the theory of noncommutative motives, we prove that the numerical Grothendieck group of every smooth proper dg k-linear category is a…
In this paper we define the triangulated category of motives over a simplicial scheme. The morphisms between the Tate objects in this category compute the motivic cohomology of the underlying scheme. In the last section we consider the…
Let X and Y be complex smooth projective varieties, and D^b(X) and D^b(Y) the associated bounded derived categories of coherent sheaves. Assume the existence of a triangulated category T which is admissible both in D^b(X) as in D^b(Y).…
We explain why every non-trivial exact tensor functor on the triangulated category of mixed motives over a field F has zero kernel, if one assumes "all" motivic conjectures. In other words, every non-zero motive generates the whole category…
We associate weight complexes of (homological) motives, and hence Euler characteristics in the Grothendieck group of motives, to arithmetic varieties and Deligne-Mumford stacks; this extends the results in the paper "Descent, Motives and…
We construct motivic power operations on the mod-$p$ motivic cohomology of $\Fb_p$-schemes using a motivic refinement of Nizio{\l}'s theorem. The key input is a purity theorem for motivic cohomology established by Levine. Our operations…
