We survey certain accessible aspects of Grothendieck's theory of motives in arithmetic algebraic geometry for mathematical physicists, focussing on areas that have recently found applications in quantum field theory. An appendix (by Matilde…
Much of the work on Shimura varieties over the last thirty years has been devoted to constructing the theory that would follow from a good notion of motives, one incorporating the Hodge, Tate, and standard conjectures. These conjectures are…
This text was published in the Gazette de la Soci\'et\'e Math\'ematique de France in October 2023. It is an introduction to the theory of motives, from its sources to its more modern developments.
This is an overview and a preview of the theory of "mixed motives of level 1" explaining some results, projects, ideas and indicating a bunch of problems.
We study Grothendieck's examples and ideas around complex variables in the years (1949-1957), his references to Riemann, and the influence on the Edinburgh ICM lecture (1958).
From its early beginnings up to nowadays, algebraic number theory has evolved in symbiosis with Galois theory: indeed, one could hold that it consists in the very study of the absolute Galois group of the field of rational numbers. Nothing…
We show that the motivic vanishing cycles introduced by J. Denef and F. Loeser give rise to a motivic measure on the Grothendieck ring of varieties over the affine line. We discuss the relation of this motivic measure to the motivic measure…
This book discusses the construction of triangulated categories of mixed motives over a noetherian scheme of finite dimension, extending Voevodsky's definition of motives over a field. In particular, it is shown that motives with rational…
In November 2014 Alexander Grothendieck passed away at the age of 86. There is no doubt that he was one of the greatest and most innovative mathematicians of the 20th century. After a bitter childhood, his meteoric ascent started in the…
We survey our recent work on an extension of the theory of motivic integration, called arithmetic motivic integration. We developed this theory to understand how p-adic integrals of a very general type depend on p.
This is the text of an introductory lecture delivered at the IHES summer school on motives in July, 2006.
We give a concise exposition of Voevodsky's theory of motives.
This is my habilitation thesis. As the tradition wants, I tried to give an introduction of my field of research. I post it on the ArXiv with the hope it can be useful to young researchers looking for a short and friendly text on…
An origin is often an intriguing issue. It becomes doubly intriguing when the logical form of thinking is considered. In this paper we will investigate exactly that: we will conjecture on the origin of basic instruments of logical thinking.…
Since I first became enthralled with physics as a teenager, I've been intrigued by the philosophical aspects of the discipline. As I approached the end of my career as an experimental physicist and observational astronomer (I'm now…
Already in the 1960s Grothendieck understood that one could obtain an almost entirely satisfactory theory of motives over a finite field when one assumes the full Tate conjecture. In this note we prove a similar result for motivic…
These are notes for a mini-course given at the summer school and conference "The Six-Functor Formalism and Motivic Homotopy Theory" in Milan 9/2021. They provide an introduction to the formalism of Grothendieck's six operations in algebraic…
A critical essay of the book ``R\'ecoltes et Semailles'' by Alexander Grothendieck, recently published by Gallimard editions.
We develop in detail most of the theory of the Picard scheme that Grothendieck sketched in two Bourbaki talks and in commentaries on them. Also, we review in brief much of the rest of the theory developed by Grothendieck and by others. But…
This paper explores relations between two separate worlds. They are the algebraic geometry of Alexander Grothendieck and the automorphic representation theory of Robert Langlands. The relation between them would be a very broad example of…
