Manifold

For the various types of manifolds, see Dieudonne: Panorama. The definition of manifold includes the existence of charts and transition functions. The definition of PL manifold, differentiable mfd, real analytic and complex analytic mfd involves conditions on the transition functions.

Given a (differentiable???) mfd M, have a notion of G-structure on M. Specific choices of G leads to the notions of Riemannian structure (orthogonal gp), pseudo-Riemannian str (Lorentz group), symplectic str (symplectic grp), and almost complex str (complex general linear group). Any complex analytic mfd comes with an almost complex str, but the converse is true only if the almost complex str is "integrable" (I think).

arXiv:0908.1256 String modular motives of mirrors of rigid Calabi-Yau varieties from arXiv Front: math.AG by Savan Kharel, Monika Lynker, Rolf Schimmrigk The modular properties of some higher dimensional varieties of special Fano type are analyzed by computing the L-function of their $\Omega-$motives. It is shown that the emerging modular forms are string theoretic in origin, derived from the characters of the underlying rational conformal field theory. The definition of the class of Fano varieties of special type is motivated by the goal to find candidates for a geometric realization of the mirrors of rigid Calabi-Yau varieties. We consider explicitly the cubic sevenfold and the quartic fivefold, and show that their motivic L-functions agree with the L-functions of their rigid mirror Calabi-Yau varieties. We also show that the cubic fourfold is string theoretic, with a modular form that is determined by that of an exactly solvable K3 surface.

[arXiv:0907.3903] Homological mirror symmetry for curves of higher genus from arXiv Front: math.AG by Alexander I. Efimov Katzarkov has proposed a generalization of Kontsevich's mirror symmetry conjecture, covering some varieties of general type. Seidel \cite{Se} has proved a version of this conjecture in the simplest case of the genus two curve. Basing on the paper of Seidel, we prove the conjecture (in the same version) for curves of genus $g\geq 3,$ relating the Fukaya category of a genus $g$ curve to the category of Landau-Ginzburg branes on a certain singular surface. We also prove a kind of reconstruction theorem for hypersurface singularities. Namely, formal type of hypersurface singularity (i.e. a formal power series up to a formal change of variables) can be reconstructed, with some technical assumptions, from its D$(\Z/2)$-G category of Landau-Ginzburg branes. The precise statement is Theorem 1.2.

Mixed Hodge modules

Elementary introduction by Saito in Asterisque 179-180

ICM talk 1990, by Saito I guess.

Schuermann on characteristic classes of mixed Hodge modules

arXiv:0907.0584 Characteristic classes of mixed Hodge modules. from arXiv Front: math.AG by Joerg Schuermann. This paper gives an introduction and overview about recent developments on the interaction of the theories of characteristic classes and mixed Hodge theory for singular spaces in the complex algebraic context. It uses M. Saito's deep theory of mixed Hodge modules as a "black box", thinking about them as "constructible or perverse sheaves of Hodge structures", having the same functorial calculus of Grothendieck functors. For the "constant Hodge sheaf", one gets the "motivic characteristic classes" of Brasselet-Schuermann-Yokura, whereas the classes of the "intersection homology Hodge sheaf" were studied by Cappell-Maxim-Shaneson.

There are two versions of these characteristic classes. The K-theoretical classes capture information about the graded pieces of the filtered de Rham complex of the filtered D-module underlying a mixed Hodge module. Application of a suitable Todd class transformation then gives classes in homology. These classes are functorial for proper pushdown and exterior products, together with some other properties one would expect for a "good" theory of characteristic classes for singular spaces. For "admissible variation of mixed Hodge structures" they have an explicit classical description in terms of "logarithmic de Rham complexes". On a point space they correspond to a specialization of the Hodge polynomial of a mixed Hodge structure, which one gets by forgetting the weight filtration.

Dwyer-Spalinski in the homotopy theory folder: Model categories, Homotopy limits brief intro, localization wrt a homology theory: very brief intro on p. 54.

Definition: A model category is a category with all small limits and colimits, together with a model structure on . A model structure on a category consists of three subcategories, called cofibrations (cofibs), fibrations (fibs), and weak equivalences (WEs), and two functorial factorizations and , satisfying:

1. (2-out-of-3) If two of , , are WEs, then so is the third.
2. (Retracts) The three classes of morphisms are closed under retracts.
3. (Lifting) Trivial cofibs have the LLP wrt fibs, and cofibs have the LLP wrt trivial fibs.
4. (Factorization) For any morphism , is a cofib, is a trivial fib, is a trivial cofib, and is a fib.

This is the definition given in Hovey, which differs slightly from earlier definitions, for example Quillen's original definition. Some people (ref?) have suggested that the first axiom should be replaced by a (4-out-of-6) axiom, to obtain a more general setting for homotopy theory in some cases.

Hovey suggests (p. 21) that the 2-category of model categories might behave like a model category.

Examples of model cats:

• Sset: Simplicial sets
• Top: Topological spaces
• Chain complexes of R-modules
• Modules over a Frobenius ring
• Cochain complexes of comodules over a Hopf algebra

arXiv:1102.2512 Partial model categories and their simplicial nerves from arXiv Front: math.CT by C. Barwick, D. M. Kan In this note we consider partial model categories, by which we mean relative categories that satisfy a weakened version of the model category axioms involving only the weak equivalences. More precisely, a partial model category will be a relative category that has the two out of six property and admits a 3-arrow calculus.

We then show that Charles Rezk's result that the simplicial space obtained from a simplicial model category by taking a Reedy fibrant replacement of its simplicial nerve is a complete Segal space also holds for these partial model categories.

We also note that conversely every complete Segal space is Reedy equivalent to the simplicial nerve of a partial model category and in fact of a homotopically full subcategory of a category of diagrams of simplicial sets.

Model category examples

Lots of examples related to brave new rings are mentioned in here. Other, more standard examples:

A nonexample: (from Vezzosi lectures in Seville): there is no reasonable model structure on if k is a field of char p.

### Functor categories

One might ask in general about model structures on functor cats , where is a MC. If is so-called direct, can define WEs and fibrations objectwise, and get a model structure. If is so-called inverse, can define WEs and cofibs objectwise, and get a model structure. See Hovey 5.1 for details and properties. If is a so-called Reedy category, can define a model structure by objectwise WEs, and a more complicated def of fibs and cofibs. See Hovey 5.2. Note that and its opposite are Reedy cats.

Consider the category of functors from a category to . We can define the projective model structure on this functor category as follows: WEs and fibrations are defined pointwise, while a cofibration is a "retract of a cellular inclusion" (see Dundas, p.40).

See Weibel's obituary for Thomason - were these ideas ever written up?

http://nlab.mathforge.org/nlab/show/global+model+structure+on+functors

### Simplicial sets

(Ref: Hovey). We define the set as the set of inclusions for . Define to be the set of inclusions for . A map is a cofibration iff it is in . A map is a (Kan) fibration iff it is in . A map is a weak equivalence iff its geometric realization is a weak equivalence of topological spaces. The maps in are called anodyne extensions.

From the definition, it follows that: A map is a cofibration iff it is injective. Hence every simplicial set is cofibrant. Also, every cofibration is a relative I-cell complex.

Thm: The category is a finitely generated model category with generating cofibrations I, generating trivial cofibrations J, and the above WEs. Same for pointed simplicial sets (fibs, cofibs, WEs are those in ).

### Topological spaces

A map in is a weak equivalence if

is an isomorphism for all and all . Let be the set of boundary inclusions for all and let be the set of inclusions , . We define a cofibration to be an element of and a (Serre) fibration to be an element of .

Of course, every homotopy equivalence is a weak equivalence.

Theorem (Hovey p. 57): There is a finitely generated model structure on with as the set of generating cofibrations, J as the set of generating trivial cofibrations, and the WEs as above. Every object of is fibrant, and the cofibrations are retracts of relative cell complexes.

There is a very similar statement for . There are also model structures on the category of k-spaces and on the category of compactly generated spaces, as well as on the pointed version of these cats. See Hovey pp. 58 for details.

See the last paragraph of this nLab entry and also this entry for other model structures on Top, e.g. the mixed model structure.

### Chain complexes of comodules over a Hopf algebra

See Hovey, section 2.5.

### Chain complexes of R-modules

We define a model structure on as follows. For any -module we define to be the complex with the module placed in degree . We also define to be the complex with in degree and , and the identity as differential between them. Dropping in this notation means that .

Let be the set of evident injections , and let be the maps . Define a map to be a fibration if it is in and a cofibration if it is in . As usual, a map is a WE if it induces an isomorphism on homology.

From the above definition, it follows that a map is fibration if and only if it is surjective in each degree. A map is a trivial fibration iff it is in . If is a cofibrant chain complex, then is projective for all , and a bounded below complex of projectives is cofibrant. In general, a map is a cofibration iff it is a dimensionwise split inclusion with cofibrant cokernel.

### Chain complexes of R-mods, with the injective model structure

Here is another model structure on , called the injective model structure. We define a map to be an injective fibration if it has the RLP wrt all maps that are both injections and WEs.

Theorem: The injections, injective fibrations, and WEs are part of a cofibrantly generated model structure on . The injective fibrations are the surjections with fibrant kernel. Every fibrant object is a complex of injectives. Every bounded above complex of injectives is fibrant. The injective trivial fibrations are the surjections with injective kernel; a complex is injective iff it is fibrant and acyclic.

### Modules over a quasi-Frobenius ring

A ring is called quasi-Frobenius if the projective and injective -modules coincide. Examples include the group ring of a finite group over a field. For such a ring, there is a cofibrantly generated model structure on where the cofibrations are the injections, the fibrations are the surjections, and the WEs are the "stable equivalences".

Further we construct some higher order Poincaré series to get higher order higher weight forms and using them we define a space of higher weight, higher order forms which has a mixed Hodge structure as well.

We then employ integral p-adic Hodge theory to prove \Lambda-adic comparison isomorphisms between our cohomologies and Hida's etale cohomology. As applications of our work, we provide a "cohomological" construction of the family of (\phi,\Gamma)-modules attached to Hida's ordinary \Lambda-adic etale cohomology by Dee, and we give a new and purely geometric proof of Hida's finitenes and control theorems. We are also able to prove refinements of theorems of Mazur-Wiles and of Ohta; in particular, we prove that there is a canonical isomorphism between the module of ordinary \Lambda-adic cuspforms and the part of the crystalline cohomology of the Igusa tower on which Frobenius acts invertibly.

Modularity

Gouvea and Yui on modularity of rigid CY 3-folds.

arXiv:0908.1210 a detailed account is given of a patching argument due to Serre that proves that the modularity of all rigid Calabi-Yau threefolds defined over the rationals follows from Serre's modularity conjecture. In this note (a letter to N. Yui) we give an alternative proof of this implication. The main difference with Serre's argument is that instead of using as main input residual modularity in infinitely many characteristics we just require residual modularity in a suitable characteristic. This is combined with effective Cebotarev.

Module over a monoidal category

A right module over a monoidal category is a a functor together with two natural IMs expressing the obvious associativity and unit conditions. These must satisfy three coherence diagrams. Often we refer to these as just -modules.

Example: Any category with all coproducts is a module over Set, if we take to be the coproduct of with itself times.

Can define functor of -modules, requiring it to commute with the tensor up to natural isomorphism, and satisfy two coherence diagrams. Get a 2-category of C-modules.

Example: A functor of Set-modules is a functor preserving coproducts.

Recall that is a closed symmetric monoidal category. Hovey proves in chapter 5 that the homotopy category of any model category is naturally a closed -module. This implies that results about simplicial model cats often can be transferred to any model category. Also, the homotopy category of a monoidal MC is naturally a closed -algebra. The proof of these results uses simplicial and cosimplicial resolutions of objects in a model category, model structures on functor cats to a MC, Reedy categories, framings, latching space, matching space.

<]]>
Module over a monoidal MC

Let be a monoidal model category. A -model category is a -module with a model structure such that the following conditions hold:

1. The action map is a Quillen bifunctor.
2. The map is a WE for all cofibrant . Here is cofibrant replacement of unit, and is the identity on . This is automatic when the unit is cofibrant.

A -model category is called a simplicial model category. This def is different from Quillen's. For Quillen, Top is a simplicial MC, but not with this def. The cateogries , k-spaces, CG spaces and their pointed versions are all simplicial MCs, but categories of chain complexes are not. However, is a -model category.

If is pointed, then so is every -model category as well. Under some conditions, if is a -model caat, then is a -model category. Get equivalence between pointed -model cats and -model cats.

Can also define algebras: Let be as above. A monoidal -model category is a monoidal model category together with a monoidal Quillen functor . Get a 2-category again.

Example: k-spaces is a symmetric monoidal -model category.

Module spectra

arXiv:1108.6309 On the Algebraic Classification of Module Spectra from arXiv Front: math.KT by Irakli Patchkoria Using methods developed by Franke, we obtain algebraic classification results for modules over certain symmetric ring spectra ($S$-algebras). In particular, for any symmetric ring spectrum $R$ whose graded homotopy ring $\pi*R$ has graded global homological dimension 2 and is concentrated in degrees divisible by some natural number $N \geq 4$, we prove that the homotopy category of $R$-modules is equivalent to the derived category of the homotopy ring $\pi*R$. This improves the Bousfield-Wolbert algebraic classification of isomorphism classes of objects of the homotopy category of $R$-modules. The main examples of ring spectra to which our result applies are the $p$-local real connective $K$-theory spectrum $ko_{(p)}$, the Johnson-Wilson spectrum E(2), and the truncated Brown-Peterson spectrum $BP<1>$, for an odd prime $p$.

arXiv:0908.1938 Stability phenomena in the topology of moduli spaces from arXiv Front: math.AT by Ralph L. Cohen The recent proof by Madsen and Weiss of Mumford's conjecture on the stable cohomology of moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces, was a dramatic example of an important stability theorem about the topology of moduli spaces. In this article we give a survey of families of classifying spaces and moduli spaces where "stability phenomena" occur in their topologies. Such stability theorems have been proved in many situations in the history of topology and geometry, and the payoff has often been quite remarkable. In this paper we discuss classical stability theorems such as the Freudenthal suspension theorem, Bott periodicity, and Whitney's embedding theorems. We then discuss more modern examples such as those involving configuration spaces of points in manifolds, holomorphic curves in complex manifolds, gauge theoretic moduli spaces, the stable topology of general linear groups, and pseudoisotopies of manifolds. We then discuss the stability theorems regarding the moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces: Harer's stability theorem on the cohomology of moduli space, and the Madsen-Weiss theorem, which proves a generalization of Mumford's conjecture. We also describe Galatius's recent theorem on the stable cohomology of automorphisms of free groups. We end by speculating on the existence of general conditions in which one might expect these stability phenomena to occur.

Monoidal category

Want to define rings and the like in the 2-category of cats and functors, and also in the 2-category of cats and adjunction. The algebraic notions of ring, commutative ring, modules over a ring, algebras over a ring, and central commutative algebras over a commutative ring, correspond to: monoidal category, symmetric monoidal category, modules over a monoidal category, algebras over a monoidal category, and central symmetric algebra over a symmetric monoidal category. If we consider adjunctions instead of functors, we add the word "closed" to each of these terms.

Def: A monoidal structure on a category is a "tensor product" bifunctor , a unit object , a natural associativity isomorphism, and two natural (left and right) unit IMs, satisfying three coherence diagrams. A category with such a structure is called a monoidal category. Def of monoidal functor (essentially has to preserve unit and product up to a natural isomorphism), monoidal natural transformation, and of the 2-category of monoidal cats.

Examples: Sets, with Cartesian product. Topological spaces, with product. Simplicial sets, with product. Modules over a commutative ring, with tensor product. (All these are actually symmetric monoidal.)

Examples of monoidal functors: The free R-module functor from Sets to R-mods. The geometric realization functor.

Whenever is monoidal, this is also the case for . (See Hovey p. 109)

Selinger: survey of graphical language

Monoidal model category

A monoidal MC is like a ring in the 2-category of MCs.

Examples: Simplicial sets, pointed simplicial sets, chain complexes of modules over a commutative ring, chain complexes of comodules over a commutative Hopf algebra, k-spaces, compactly generated topological spaces. Non-example: Topological spaces.

Def: A monoidal category is a closed category , with a model structure, such that the following holds:

1. The monoidal structure is a Quillen bifunctor
2. Let be a cofibrant replacement for the unit . Then the natural map is a WE for all cofibrant , and same for . (This is automatic if is cofibrant.)

Similarly, can define symmetric monoidal model category.

Example: is a symmetric monoidal model category, and same for . For any (symmetric) monoidal model category with cofibrant unit coinciding with the terminal object, the model category is also (symmetric) monoidal. CG spaces and k-spaces form symmetric monoidal model cats under the k-space product, and same for the pointed versions. Unbounded chain complexes of R-mods is a symmetric monoidal model category (using the standard model structure, not the injective one). Chain complexes of comodules over a commutative Hopf algebra over a field also form a SMMC. The model category R-mod is monoidal, if R is a quasi-Frobenius ring and a finitedimensional Hopf algebra over a field. It is symmetric iff R is cocommutative.

In the above examples the unit is cofibrant. The category of S-modules is a monoidal model category in which the unit is not cofibrant.

Hovey: "It is essential that is a closed monoidal category for to be monoidal. For example, the smash product on pointed topological spaces fails to be associative". " is not a monoidal model category, because it is not a closed monoidal category".

Given two monoidal MCs, a monoidal Quillen adjunction between them is a Quillen adjunction such that is a monoidal functor, and applied to cofibrant replacement of the unit is a WE. The last condition is redundant when the unit is cofibrant, but necessary in general to ensure that the unit isomorphism passes to the homotopy category. The left adjoint above is referred to as a monoidal Quillen functor. We get a 2-category of monoidal MCs, and can also construct the 2-category of symmetric monoidal MCs, with symmetric monoidal Quillen functors.

Example: Adding a disjoint basepoint is a symmetric monoidal Quillen functor from to , whose right adjoint is the forgetful functor. Similarly for k-spaces and CG spaces. Geometric realization is a symmetric monoidal Quillen functor from (pointed) simplicial sets to (pointed) k-spaces.

### The homotopy category

Recall (Hovey p. 106) the definition of an adjunction in two variables.

Theorem: Suppose is a (symmetric) monoidal model category. Then its homotopy category can be given the structure of a closed (symmetric) monoidal category. The adjunction of two variables that is part of the closed structure on is the total derived adjunction of . The associativity, unit (and commutativity) IMs on are derived from the corresponding IMs of

We make this more precise, and give the statement for the more structured monoidal model cats. Let be a fixed monoidal model category.

Thm: The pseudo-2-functor from model cats to lifts to a pseudo-2-functor:

• from monoidal model cats to closed monoidal cats
• from symmetric monoidal model cats to closed symmetric monoidal cats
• from -model cats to closed -modules
• from monoidal -model cats to closed -algebras
• from symmetric (resp. central) monoidal -model cats to closed symmetric (resp. central) -algebras (if is symmetric)

arXiv:1103.2625 On some questions raised by Anand Pillay and Franck Benoist from arXiv Front: math.AG by Damian Rössler We prove that indefinitely $p$-divisible points on abelian varieties defined over function fields of transcendance degree one over a finite field are necessarily torsion points. We also prove that when the endomorphism ring of the abelian variety is $\mZ$ then there are no indefinitely $p$-divisible points of order a power of $p$. Finally, we prove a general result on the sparsity of points in a special fibre of an abelian variety as above, which lift to highly $p$-divisible unramified points; we show how it can be used to give a new proof of the Mordell-Lang conjecture for ordinary abelian varieties.

Cohomology theories: the motivic EM spectrum, KGL, MGL, claim that the notions of orientation and FGLs have direct analogs for P1-spectra. The slice filtration (great intro), update on Open problems paper. The zero-th slice of the unit spectrum is HZ, this is known for fields of char zero. Brief discussion of AHSS. Appendix on the Nisnevich topology, Nisnevich descent, and model structures.

Voevodsky ICM talk summary: Starting with a cat C, can use homotopy theory to study it, if we embed it into a bigger nicer cat of spaces, with a notion of weak equiv. Can then define the homotopy cat of spaces, and also the SW cat (naively stabilizing suspension), and better: a stable homotopy cat, using spectra. The second approach gives existence of infinite direct sums, so that rep theorems can be applied. Can carry out this starting with Sm/S for any notherian base, and then define motivic cohomology, alg Kth and alg cobord on this cat for any such S. Spaces are Nisnevich sheaves of sets, and there is a notion of space of finite type, which implies categorical compactness. Model structure. Almost fibrant vs quasifibrant: probably EM spaces are the latter only. SW cat and various spheres. MV, Gysin, and blowup loch exact sequences. The Gysin les comes from a closed embedding of smooth schemes, and involves the Thom space of the normal bundle. The blowup sequence here is also for a closed embedding of smooth schemes. Prop 5.5: SH is compactly generated. Specialize to the case of T=P1. Get same long exact seqs. Chapter 6: For any E in SH, can define a corresponding cohomology and homology theory. Any such theory has Gysin, MV, and blowup long exact sequences. Usefulness of a "Brown rep thm" is restricted by the fact that it seems like the statement would be about functors on spaces, or spaces of finite type, and not functors on schemes. Now to EM spaces: Naive idea does not work. Instead, use idea of Suslin: use Dold-Thom thm. The right analogue of Symm is described, using finite correspondences I think. More details and def of the motivic cohomology spectrum. Def of BGL, i.e. the alg K-theory spectrum, and comparison statements. Also MGL (alg cobordism). Two future directions: one related to circumventing problems related to RoS and hence restrictions to char zero base field, maybe using techniques in Bloch: Moving lemma for higher Chow groups, from Spivakovsky's work. The other relating to descriptions of A1-homotopy types: rational case is conjectural, integral case quite unclear.

File: Lectures on motivic cohomology written by Deligne, in Voevodsky folder. Contains discussion of some topics including: some kind of equivariant version, i.e. schemes with action of a finite flat group scheme, and an equivariant analogue of the Nisnevich topology. Notion of solid sheaves, including Thom spaces of VBs. On of the main ideas seem to be the extension of certain functors from schemes to the motivic homotopy category, for example quotienting by a G-action, fixed points, and symmetric products. I think these functors are well-behaved wrt solid sheaves.

arXiv:1004.4260 The yoga of schemic Grothendieck rings, a topos-theoretical approach from arXiv Front: math.KT by Hans Schoutens We propose a suitable substitute for the classical Grothendieck ring of an algebraically closed field, in which any quasi-projective scheme is represented, while maintaining its non-reduced structure. This yields a more subtle invariant, called the schemic Grothendieck ring, in which we can formulate a form of integration resembling Kontsevich's motivic integration via arc schemes. Whereas the original construction was via definability, we have translated in this paper everything into a topos-theoretic framework.

It is possible that motivic integration, or at least the notion of (convergence of) power series over the Grothendieck ring, is related to finiteness conditions on simplicial presheaves/simplicial varieties.

arXiv:0912.4887 A note on motivic integration in mixed characteristic from arXiv Front: math.AG by Johannes Nicaise, Julien Sebag We introduce a quotient of the Grothendieck ring of varieties by identifying classes of universally homeomorphic varieties. We show that the standard realization morphisms factor through this quotient, and we argue that it is the correct value ring for the theory of motivic integration on formal schemes and rigid varieties in mixed characteristic. The present note is an excerpt of a detailed survey paper which will be published in the proceedings of the conference "Motivic integration and its interactions with model theory and non-archimedean geometry" (ICMS, 2008).

We start with an example that demonstrates the role of orientation data in this story, before working through the technical details. We give an account of orientation data in the case of categories of compactly supported sheaves on noncompact Calabi-Yau three-folds. We finally study how this structure behaves under pullbacks along quasi-equivalences of categories, prove Kontsevich and Soibelman's conjecture regarding this behaviour, and also some stronger theorems regarding flops and more general tilts.

Math., Volume 173, (2008) 23-121] to mixed characteristic discretely valued Henselian fields with bounded ramification. We also generalize the equicharacteristic zero case of loc. cit. by giving, in all residue characteristics, an axiomatic approach (instead of only using Denef-Pas languages) and by using richer angular component maps. In this setting we prove a general change of variables formula and a general Fubini Theorem. Our set-up can be specialized to previously known versions of motivic integration by e.g. the second author and J. Sebag and to classical p-adic integrals.

This solves Suslin's problem for these two spectral sequences in the affirmative. To prove this, one has to solve the Voevodsky problem for slices of KGL. The latter problem was first solved by Levine by using the coniveau tower, but our methods are entirely different from Levine's ones.

We show that the cellular objects in the module category over a motivic E infinity ring spectrum E can be described as the module category over a graded topological spectrum if E is strongly periodizable in our language. A similar statement is proven for triangulated categories of motives. Since MGL is strongly periodizable we obtain topological incarnations of motivic Landweber spectra. Under some categorical assumptions the unit object of the model category for triangulated motives is as well strongly periodizable giving motivic cochains whose module category models integral triangulated categories of Tate motives.

Using homotopy fixed points and the algebraic K-theory spectrum, we construct a motivic analogue of the real K-theory spectrum KO. We also establish a theory of connective covers to obtain a motivic version of ko. We establish an Adams spectral sequence for computing motivic ko-homology. The E2-term of this spectral sequence involves Ext groups over the subalgebra A(1) of the motivic Steenrod algebra. We make several explicit computations of these E2-terms in interesting special cases.

arXiv:1206.3645 Noncommutative Motives I: A Universal Characterization of the Motivic Stable Homotopy Theory of Schemes from arXiv Front: math.AG by Marco Robalo Let $\V$ be a symmetric monoidal model category and let $X$ be an object in $\V$. From this we can construct a new symmetric monoidal model category $Sp^{\Sigma}(\V,X)$ of symmetric spectra objects in $\V$ with respect to $X$, together with a left Quillen monoidal map $\V\to Sp^{\Sigma}(\V,X)$ sending $X$ to an invertible object. In this paper we use the recent developments in the subject of Higher Algebra to understand the nature of this construction. Every symmetric monoidal model category has an underlying symmetric monoidal $(\infty,1)$-category and the first notion should be understood as a mere "presentation" of the second. Our main result is the characterization of the underlying symmetric monoidal $\infty$-category of $Sp^{\Sigma}(\V,X)$, by means of a universal property inside the world of symmetric monoidal $(\infty,1)$-categories. In the process we also describe the link between the construction of ordinary spectra and the one of symmetric spectra. As a corollary, we obtain a precise universal characterization for the motivic stable homotopy theory of schemes with its symmetric monoidal structure. This characterization trivializes the problem of finding motivic monoidal realizations and opens the way to compare the motivic theory of schemes with other motivic theories.

Multiple zeta values

arXiv:1101.1594 Multiple Dedekind Zeta Functions from arXiv Front: math.NT by Ivan Horozov In this paper we define multiple Dedekind zeta functions as a new type of iterated integrals. This new class of functions have many properties. They can be written as infinite sums. They have integral representation and meromorphic continuation. We also prove that at the positive integers the multiple Dedekind zeta values are periods. In particular, the Dedekind zeta function can be written in terms of the new type of iterated integral and at the positive integers the corresponding iterated integrals give periods.

arXiv:0911.2643 Multizeta values: Lie algebras and periods on $\mathfrak{M}{0,n}$ from arXiv Front: math.NT by Sarah Carr (there are also other things by Carr) This thesis is a study of algebraic and geometric relations between multizeta values. In chapter 2, we prove a result which gives the dimension of the associated depth-graded pieces of the double shuffle Lie algebra in depths 1 and 2. In chapters 3 and 4, we study geometric relations between multizeta values coming from their expression as periods on $\mathfrak{M}{0,n}$. The key ingredient in this study is the top dimensional de Rham cohomology of special partially compactified moduli spaces associated to multizeta values. In chapter 3, we give an explicit expression for a basis, represented by polygons, of this cohomology. In chapter 4, we generalize this method to explicitly describe the bases of the cohomology of other partially compactified moduli spaces. This thesis concludes with a result which gives a new presentation of $Pic(\overline{\mathfrak{M}}_{0,n})$.

arXiv:0907.2557 The Multiple Zeta Value Data Mine from arXiv Front: math.NT by J. Blümlein, D. J. Broadhurst, J. A. M. Vermaseren We provide a data mine of proven results for multiple zeta values (MZVs) of the form $\zeta(s1,s2,...,sk)=\sum{n1>n2>...>nk>0}^\infty {1/(n1^{s_1} ... nk^{sk})}$ with weight $w=\sum{i=1}^k si$ and depth $k$ and for Euler sums of the form $\sum{n1>n2>...>nk>0}^\infty t{(\epsilon1^{n1} ...\epsilon1 ^{nk})/ (n1^{s1} ... nk^{sk}) }$ with signs $\epsilon_i=\pm1$. Notably, we achieve explicit proven reductions of all MZVs with weights $w\le22$, and all Euler sums with weights $w\le12$, to bases whose dimensions, bigraded by weight and depth, have sizes in precise agreement with the Broadhurst--Kreimer and Broadhurst conjectures. Moreover, we lend further support to these conjectures by studying even greater weights ($w\le30$), using modular arithmetic. To obtain these results we derive a new type of relation for Euler sums, the Generalized Doubling Relations. We elucidate the "pushdown" mechanism, whereby the ornate enumeration of primitive MZVs, by weight and depth, is reconciled with the far simpler enumeration of primitive Euler sums. There is some evidence that this pushdown mechanism finds its origin in doubling relations. We hope that our data mine, obtained by exploiting the unique power of the computer algebra language {\sc form}, will enable the study of many more such consequences of the double-shuffle algebra of MZVs, and their Euler cousins, which are already the subject of keen interest, to practitioners of quantum field theory, and to mathematicians alike.

Precisely, if $C$ is a curve and $X$ is an elliptic modular threefold over $k$ (an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0) or an abelian variety of dimension 3, then Murre's conjecture (B) is true for the fourfold $X\times C.$
