We define the category of \'etale Chow motives as the \'etale analogue of Grothendieck motives and proved that it embeds in $\text{DM}_{\text{\'et}}(k)$. This construction provides a characterization of the generalized Hodge conjecture in…

This is the third of a series of papers studying real algebraic threefolds, but the methods are mostly independent from the previous two. Let $f:X\to S$ be a map of a smooth projective real algebraic 3-fold to a surface $S$ whose general…

The purpose of this article is to provide a simplified construction of the intermediate extension of a Chow motive, provided a condition on absence of weights in the boundary is satisfied. We give a criterion, which guarantees the validity…

With representation-theoretic applications in mind, we construct a formalism of reduced motives with integral coefficients. These are motivic sheaves from which the higher motivic cohomology of the base scheme has been removed. We show that…

We obtain criteria for detecting complete intersections in projective varieties. Motivated by a conjecture of Hartshorne concerning subvarieties of projective spaces, we investigate situations when two-codimensional smooth subvarieties of…

Let $f: X \rightarrow C$ be a genus 1 fibration from a smooth projective surface, i.e. its generic fiber is a regular genus 1 curve. Let $j: J \rightarrow C$ be the Jacobian fibration of $f$. In this paper, we prove that the Chow motives of…

Let $k$ be a field and let $\Omega$ be a universal domain over $k$. Let $f:X \r S$ be a dominant morphism defined over $k$ from a smooth projective variety $X$ to a smooth projective variety $S$ of dimension $\leq 2$ such that the general…

We construct infinitely many non-diffeomorphic examples of $5$-dimensional contact manifolds which are tight, admit no strong fillings, and do not have Giroux torsion. We obtain obstruction results for symplectic cobordisms, for which we…

Let X be a geometrically split, geometrically irreducible variety over a field F satisfying Rost nilpotence principle. Consider a field extension E/F and a finite field K. We provide in this note a motivic tool giving sufficient conditions…

We exhibit several families of Fano threefolds with a multiplicative Chow-K\"unneth decomposition, in the sense of Shen-Vial. As a consequence, a certain tautological subring of the Chow ring of powers of these threefolds injects into…

We prove that isogenous K3 surfaces have isomorphic Chow motives. This provides a motivic interpretation of a long standing conjecture of Safarevich which has been settled only recently by Buskin. The main step consists of a new proof of…

By defining and studying functorial properties of the Borel-Moore motivic homology, we identify the heart of Bondarko-H\'ebert's weight structure on Beilinson motives with Corti-Hanamura's category of Chow motives over a base, therefore…

Let W -> X be a real smooth projective 3-fold fibred by rational curves. J. Koll\'ar proved that, if W(R) is orientable, then a connected component N of W(R) is essentially either a Seifert fibred manifold or a connected sum of lens spaces.…

In this note, a procedure is developed to explicitly construct non-trivial F-theory lifts of perturbative IIB orientifold models on Calabi-Yau complete intersections in toric varieties. This procedure works on Calabi-Yau orientifolds where…

This an extended version of the previous preprint dated by February 2005. We prove that the Chow motive of an anisotropic projective homogeneous variety of type F4 is isomorphic to the direct sum of twisted copies of a generalized Rost…

We develop a theory of modulus triples, for future motivic applications.

Let $X \subset \mathbb{P}(w_0, w_1, w_2, w_3)$ be a quasismooth well-formed weighted projective hypersurface and let $L = lcm(w_0,w_1,w_2,w_3)$. We characterize when $X$ is rational under the assumption that $L$ divides $deg(X)$ by…

In the case of smooth manifolds, we use Forman's discrete Morse theory to realize combinatorially any Thom-Smale complex coming from a smooth Morse function by a couple triangulation-discrete Morse function. As an application, we prove that…

In this article, we improve our main results from \emph{Chow groups and $L$-derivatives of automorphic motives for unitary groups} in two direction: First, we allow ramified places in the CM extension $E/F$ at which we consider…

We give a necessary and sufficient topological condition for the Vaserstein symbol to be injective on smooth affine real threefolds. More precisely, we show that the Vaserstein symbol is a bijection for such a threefold X if and only if the…
