We prove a special case of the Bloch-Kato conjecture for adjoint motives associated to modular abelian surfaces.

We give necessary conditions for a category fibred in pseudo-abelian additive categories over the classifying topos of a profinite group to be a stack; these conditions are sufficient when the coefficients are $\mathbf{Q}$-linear. This…

We define the log motivic nearby cycles functor. We show that this sends the motive of a proper smooth scheme over the fraction field of a DVR to the motive of the boundary of a log smooth model assuming absolute purity, which is…

These are notes of a series of talks about motivic integration I gave on the M\"unster Model Theory Month. Readers are assumed to have some basic knowledge of model theory and of valued fields. The notes are closest to the Cluckers-Loeser…

Let $X$ be a cubic fourfold in $P^5_{C}$. We prove that, assuming the Hodge conjecture for the product $S \times S$, where $S$ is a complex surface, and the finite dimensionality of the Chow motive $h(S)$, there are at most a countable…

We study the conjecture claiming that, over a flexible field, isotropic Chow groups coincide with numerical Chow groups (with ${\Bbb{F}}_p$-coefficients). This conjecture is essential for understanding the structure of the isotropic motivic…

We study the motivic cohomology of the special fiber of quaternionic Shimura varieties at a prime of good reduction. We exhibit classes in these motivic cohomology groups and use this to give an explicit geometric realization of level…

We collect some properties of the motivic zeta functions and the motivic nearby fiber defined by Denef and Loeser. In particular, we calculate the relative dual of the motivic nearby fiber. We give a candidate for a nearby cycle morphism on…

This work brings Mellin transforms into the realm of motivic integration. The new, larger class of motivic functions is stable under motivic Mellin and Fourier transforms, with general Fubini results and change of variables formulas. It…

We study monodromy of holomorphic motions and show the equivalence of triviality of monodromy of holomorphic motions and extensions of holomorphic motions to continuous motions of the Riemann sphere. We also study liftings of holomorphic…

Given a regular map f from a smooth complex variety to the affine line, we define a motivic Milnor fiber at infinity and we compute it in the case of a non degenerate Laurent polynomial for its Newton polyhedra at infinity.

We use motivic methods to give a quick proof of Berthelot's conjecture stating that the push-forward map in rigid cohomology of the structural sheaf along a smooth and proper map has a canonical structure of overconvergent F-isocrystal on…

We propose a strengthening of the Grothendieck--Lefschetz hyperplane theorem for the local Picard group, prove some special cases and derive several consequences to the deformation theory of log canonical singularities. Version 2: Main…

We prove new instances of Simpson's rigidity conjecture which states that quasi-unipotent rigid local systems should be motivic. We construct new relative motives over the fourfold punctured Riemann sphere which give rise to $G_2$-rigid…

We construct classes in the motivic cohomology of certain 1-parameter families of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in toric Fano n-folds, with applications to local mirror symmetry (growth of genus 0 instanton numbers) and inhomogeneous…

Let $E/F$ be a quadratic extension of totally real number fields. We show that the generalized Hirzebruch-Zagier cycles arising from the associated Hilbert modular varieties can be put in $p$-adic families. As an application, using the…

We develop the theory of motivic integration for formal schemes

Given a finite group G, we develop a theory of G-equivariant noncommutative motives. This theory provides a well-adapted framework for the study of G-schemes, Picard groups of schemes, G-algebras, 2-cocycles, equivariant algebraic K-theory,…

We prove 2-out-of-3 property for rationality of motivic zeta function in distinguished triangles in Voevodsky's category DM. As an application, we show rationality of motivic zeta functions for all varieties whose motives are in the thick…

In this paper we give a formula for the Hirzebruch $\chi_y$-genus $\chi_y(X)$ and similarly for the motivic Hirzebruch class $T_{y*}(X)$ for possibly singular varieties $X$, using the Vandermonde matrix. Motivated by the notion of secondary…
