Question for Toen in Seville: Do schematic homotopy types only make sense for smooth projective vars? Answer: No, this should not be essential. Reason for assuming proj was that Higgs bundle correspondence was not worked out in the general case, but this has now been done by Mochizuki. Pridham has done stuff on the singular case. See also Olsson: "towards p-adic homotopy", and "F-isocristal".
arXiv:0912.4844 The de Rham homotopy theory and differential graded category from arXiv Front: math.AT by Syunji Moriya 1 person liked this This paper is a generalization of arXiv:0810.0808. We develop the de Rham homotopy theory of not necessarily nilpotent spaces, using closed dg-categories and equivariant dg-algebras. We see these two algebraic objects correspond in a certain way. We prove an equivalence between the homotopy category of schematic homotopy types and a homotopy category of closed dg-categories. We give a description of homotopy invariants of spaces in terms of minimal models. The minimal model in this context behaves much like the Sullivan's minimal model. We also provide some examples. We prove an equivalence between fiberwise rationalizations and closed dg-categories with subsidiary data.

<]]>- Scholbach conjectureWrite comment View comments
arXiv:1003.1215 Special L-values of geometric motives from arXiv Front: math.NT by Jakob Scholbach This paper proposes a conjecture about special values of L-functions of geometric motives over Z. We conjecture the following: the pole order of the L-function L(M, s) of M at s=0 is given by the negative Euler characteristic of motivic cohomology of $D(M) := M\dual(1)[2]$. Up to a nonzero rational factor, the L-value at s=0 is given by the determinant of a pairing coupling an Arakelov-like variant of motivic cohomology of M with the motivic cohomology of D(M). Under standard assumptions concerning mixed motives over Q, finite fields and Z, this conjecture is essentially equivalent to the conjunction of Soulé's conjecture about pole orders of $\zeta$-functions of schemes over Z, Beilinson's conjecture about special L-values for motives over Q and the Tate conjecture over F_p.

Saito and Langer in Duke J 1996 prove a strange finiteness result for certain Selmer groups.
arXiv:1205.4456 Generalized explicit descent and its application to curves of genus 3 from arXiv Front: math.AG by Nils Bruin, Bjorn Poonen, Michael Stoll We introduce a common generalization of essentially all known methods for explicit computation of Selmer groups, which are used to bound the ranks of abelian varieties over global fields. We also simplify and extend the proofs relating what is computed to the cohomologically-defined Selmer groups. Selmer group computations have been practical for many Jacobians of curves over Q of genus up to 2 since the 1990s, but our approach is the first to be practical for general curves of genus 3. We show that our approach succeeds on some genus-3 examples defined by polynomials with small coefficients.
arXiv:1108.3364 Unfaking the fake Selmer group from arXiv Front: math.AG by Michael Stoll, Ronald van Luijk For any abelian variety J over a global field k and an isogeny phi: J -> J, the Selmer group Sel^phi(J,k) is a subgroup of the Galois cohomology group H^1(Gal(k^s/k),J[phi]), defined in terms of local data. When J is the Jacobian of a cyclic cover of P^1, the Selmer group has a quotient by a subgroup of order at most 2 that is isomorphic to the "fake Selmer group", whose definition is more amenable to explicit computations. In this paper we define in the same setting the `unfake Selmer group', which is isomorphic to the Selmer group itself and just as amenable to explicit computations as the fake Selmer group.
arXiv:1301.4724 Selmer groups as flat cohomology groups fra arXiv Front: math.AG av Kestutis Cesnavicius Given a prime number p, Bloch and Kato showed how the p^\infty-Selmer group of an abelian variety A defined over a number field K is determined by the p-adic Tate module T_p(A). In general one cannot hope that the p^m-Selmer group of A would be determined by the mod p^m Galois representation A[p^m]. We show, however, that this is the case if p is large enough. More precisely, we determine a finite explicit set of primes S depending on K and A, such that the p^m-Selmer group of A is determined by A[p^m] for all p not in S. To do this we observe that for such p, the p^m-Selmer group agrees with the flat cohomology group of the ring of integers of K with coefficients in the p^m-torsion of the Neron model of A. We give a Selmer-type description for this flat cohomology group in terms of local conditions, which, for p not in S, agree with the local conditions defining the p^m-Selmer group and depend only on A[p^m].

The schemes formed are non-Noetherian but they appear naturally in many places. We define Lawson homology, morphic cohomology, construct Chern classes and develop some intersection theory for semi-topological schemes. A Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch type theorem in morphic cohomology for some closed imbeddings is proved. Some new invariants like semi-topological cobordism groups, semi-topological Chow groups and higher derived categories of coherent sheaves are defined.

- Sheaf theoryWrite comment View comments
I think it is true in general that sheafification is left adjoint to inclusion, and commutes with all limits and colimits.
To a sheaf of sets, one can associate a sheaf of abelian groups: Compose with the free abelian group functor, and then sheafify (Voevodsky thesis, p 2). This is the left adjoint to the forgetful functor from abelian sheaves to sheaves of sets. This is an example of a functor from sheaves of sets to sheaves of something else, which is needed if one wants to embed a category into a category behaving like "something else", in this case an abelian category. For basic properties of these abelian sheaves, see p 2 in the thesis (right exactness, preserves monos, "no torsion", flatness, respects prod and coprod). More basic properties of these sheaves, in section 2.

Voevodsky: Homology of schemes I. Discusses the moral of the notion of transfers in the introduction. One of the points seem to be that CTs are functorial wrt correspondences iff they are ordinary, i.e. come from coeffs in a complex of abelian sheaves. Another point is that the "motive" of a CW complex should be its stable homotopy type, if we by motive mean universal wrt all CTs, but if we work with ordinary theories, it should be its singular simplicial complex, as an object in the derived cat of abelian groups. More details provided.

arXiv:1206.6730 A remark on a conjecture of Buzzard-Gee and the cohomology of Shimura varieties from arXiv Front: math.NT by Christian Johansson We compare the conjecture of Buzzard-Gee on the association of Galois representations to C-algebraic automorphic representations with the conjectural description of the cohomology of Shimura varieties due to Kottwitz, and the reciprocity law at infinity due to Arthur. This is done by extending Langlands's representation of the L-group associated with a Shimura datum to a representation of the C-group of Buzzard-Gee. The approach offers an explanation of the explicit Tate twist appearing in Kottwitz's description.

Here is the category of objects and morphisms the weakly order-preserving maps, i.e. maps such that implies . Note that every such map can be factored uniquely as an injective map followed by a surjective map.

A simplicial object is given by objects for each non-negative , together with face maps () and degeneracy maps (), which must satisfy the simplicial identities:
A map of simplicial objects is equivalent to a collection of maps commuting with the face and degeneracy maps.

Some random notes
In K0129, Jardine proves that the categories of simplicial presheaves and simplicial sheaves on an arbitrary Grothendieck site have proper closed simplicial model structures.
In K0175 there is something about localization theories for simplicial presheaves.
Blander: In this note we introduce the local projective model structure on simplicial presheaves and as an application give a simplified proof of Voevodsky's comparison theorem, which asserts that the motivic stable homotopy categories in the Nisnevich and cdh topologies are equivalent.
There might be many interesting articles by Dugger and Isaksen, for example K0563
Flasque model structures for simplicial presheaves , by Daniel C. Isaksen K0676. This is an alternative to the projective and the injective model structures.
Consider the general setting of a 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). Can define another model structure (page 41) in which WEs and cofibrations are defined pointwise. This is Quillen equivalent to the projective model structure (Heller).
Rezk: Fibrations and homotopy colimits of simplicial sheaves. Abstract: We show that homotopy pullbacks of sheaves of simplicial sets over a Grothendieck topology distribute over homotopy colimits; this generalizes a result of Puppe about topological spaces. In addition, we show that inverse image functors between categories of simplicial sheaves preserve homotopy pullback squares. The method we use introduces the notion of a sharp map, which is analogous to the notion of a quasi-fibration of spaces, and seems to be of independent interest.

arXiv:1109.5477 A Projective Model Structure on Pro Simplicial Sheaves, and the Relative Étale Homotopy Type from arXiv Front: math.AG by Ilan Barnea, Tomer M. Schlank In \cite{Isa}, Isaksen showed that a proper model category $\cC$, induces a model structure on the pro category $Pro(\cC)$. In this paper we generalize Isaksen's theorem to the case when $\cC$ possess a weaker structure, which we call a "weak fibration category". Namely, we show that if $\cC$ is a weak fibration category, that satisfies an extra condition, there is a naturally induced model structure on $Pro(\cC)$. We then apply our theorem to the case when $\cC$ is the weak fibration category of simplicial sheafs on a Grothendieck site, where both weak equivalences and fibrations are local as in \cite{Jar}. This gives a new model structure on the category of pro simplicial sheaves. Using this new model structure we give a definition of the étale homotopy type of Artin and Mazur \cite{AM}, as the result of applying a derived functor. Our definition actually gives as object in $Pro(\cS)$ and not just in $Pro(Ho(\cS))$ as in \cite{AM}. Our definition also extends naturally to a relative notion of the étale homotopy type, as considered for example in \cite{HaSc}.
Dwyer and Kan have a number of papers on diagrams of simplicial sets, see e.g. MR744846. In "Function complexes etc" MR705421, they show that there is a model structure on any functor cat with target ´sSet´. They also compute homotopy type of function complexes. Another potentially important paper is "Equivalences between homotopy theories of diagrams" where they give conditions on a functor for the induced map on simplicial presheaves to give an equivalence of homotopy theories.

Motivation for simplicial sheaves include various constructions for stacks and Q-varieties, for example Chow groups, K-theory of simplicial schemes, line bundles on stacks, and more. In "Filtrations on higher algebraic Kth" he uses the homotopy theory of simplicial objects in a topos.

arXiv:1009.2930 Classifying spaces and fibrations of simplicial sheaves from arXiv Front: math.AT by Matthias Wendt In this paper, we discuss the construction of classifying spaces of fibre sequences in model categories of simplicial sheaves. One construction proceeds via Brown representability and provides a classification in the pointed model category. The second construction is given by the classifying space of the monoid of homotopy self-equivalences of a simplicial sheaf and provides the unpointed classification.

Slice filtration on motives and the Hodge conjecture, by Annette Huber
Open problems paper of Voevodsky
Voevodsky: Motives over simplicial schemes, contains some material. He says that Lemma 5.12 (p 22) about Homs between various truncations (vanishing etc) holds in the triang cat of motives but not in SH, and this is the major difference between the slice filtration in the two settings. A counterexample in the SH setting is the Hopf map, see p 22 for more. Probably this also affects the adjointness properties of the truncations.
arXiv:1002.0317 On the Functoriality of the Slice Filtration from arXiv Front: math.AT by Pablo Pelaez Let $k$ be a field with resolution of singularities, and $X$ a separated $k$-scheme of finite type with structure map $g$. We show that the slice filtration in the motivic stable homotopy category commutes with pullback along $g$. Restricting the field further to the case of characteristic zero, we are able to compute the slices of Weibel's homotopy invariant $K$-theory \cite{MR991991} extending the result of Levine \cite{MR2365658}, and also the zero slice of the sphere spectrum extending the result of Levine \cite{MR2365658} and Voevodsky \cite{MR2101286}. We also show that the zero slice of the sphere spectrum is a strict cofibrant ring spectrum $\mathbf{HZ}{X}^{\slicefilt}$ which is stable under pullback and that all the slices have a canonical structure of strict modules over $\mathbf{HZ}{X}^{\slicefilt}$. If we consider rational coefficents and assume that $X$ is geometrically unibranch then relying on the work of Cisinski and D{é}glise \cite{mixedmotives}, we get that the zero slice of the sphere spectrum is given by Voevodsky's rational motivic cohomology spectrum $\mathbf{HZ}_{X}\otimes \mathbb Q$ and that the slices have transfers. This proves several conjectures of Voevodsky \cite[conjectures 1, 7, 10, 11]{MR1977582}.

A tool for constructing functorial factorizations in categories. See Hovey, Section 2.1.
Without explaining what the individual terms mean, the statement is as follows:
Theorem: Suppose is a category containing all small colimits, and is a set of maps in . Suppose the domains of the maps of are small relative to -cell. Then there is a functorial factorization on such that, for all morphisms in , the map is in -cell and the map is in -inj.
See also Dundas, pp26.
Goerss and Schemmerhorn formulates it as follows: If a model category is cofibrantly generated, then factorizations can be chosen to be natural. The proof is also presented.

arXiv:1209.5018 The $p$-adic Shintani cocycle from arXiv Front: math.NT by G. Ander Steele The Shintani cocycle on $\GL_n(\Q)$, as constructed by Hill, gives a cohomological interpretation of special values of zeta functions for totally real fields of degree $n$. We give an explicit criterion for a specialization of the Shintani cocycle to be $p$-adically interpolable. As a corollary, we recover the results of Deligne-Ribet, Cassou Noguès and Barsky on the construction of $p$-adic $L$-functions attached to totally real fields.

Milne The original article expressed the special values of the zeta function of a variety over a finite field in terms of the $\hat{Z}$-cohomology of the variety.

arXiv:1009.1125 The Goodwillie tower and the EHP sequence from arXiv Front: math.AT by Mark Behrens We study the interaction between the EHP sequence and the Goodwillie tower of the identity evaluated at spheres at the prime 2. Both give rise to spectral sequences (the EHP spectral sequence and the Goodwillie spectral sequence, respectively) which compute the unstable homotopy groups of spheres. We relate the Goodwillie filtration to the P map, and the Goodwillie differentials to the H map. Furthermore, we study an iterated Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence approach to the homotopy of the layers of the Goodwillie tower of the identity on spheres. We show that differentials in these spectral sequences give rise to differentials in the EHP spectral sequence. We use our theory to re-compute the 2-primary unstable stems through the Toda range (up to the 19-stem). We also study the homological behavior of the interaction between the EHP sequence and the Goodwillie tower of the identity. This homological analysis involves the introduction of Dyer-Lashof-like operations associated to M. Ching's operad structure on the derivatives of the identity. These operations act on the mod 2 stable homology of the Goodwillie layers of any functor from spaces to spaces.
Notes from Tohoku
Section 2.4
Consider an abelian cat . Def of filtered (decreasing) object in , and morphism. Filtered objects form an additive cat. Def of associated graded, a covariant functor to graded objects.
Def of spectral sequence in , as in Tamme. The cat of spectral sequences in form an additive cat. Spectral functor, cohomological spectral sequence.
Example: Let be a bicomplex in , with "finite diagonals". Then have two spectral sequences converging to the cohomology of the associated simple complex. For these the terms are defined by taking the -th cohomology in one direction of the -th cohomology in the other direction.
Let be a covariant functor from one abelian cat to another . Suppose the first cat has enough injectives. Let be a complex in , bounded on the left. Then by Cartan-Eilenberg (Chap XVII) we can construct two spectral sequences and , bothe computing (what I think is) the derived functors of . This doesn't make any sense, probably I missed something here. He says that these sequences converge to "the hyperhomology functors of ", and they seem to use starting terms involving the derived functors. We recall the construction: Let be concentrated in positive degrees. Take a double complex which in each degree is a resolution of . Also, each node of should be -acyclic (higher derived functors vanishing). Two ways of constructing such an , including an explicit description of injective objects in the cat of complexes in . More stuff about this hyperhomology, cannot decode the notation.
Apparently the above machinery generates, as a special case, the usual Grothendieck spectral sequence theorem:
Thm: Let , , be three abelian cats, the first two having enough injectives. Let and be covariant functors, such that is left exact, and sends injectives to -acyclics. Then there exists a cohomological spectral functor on with values in , with abutment the right derived functor of (convenablement filtre), with initial term .
Several remarks on this thm.

Homotopy spectral sequence of a cosimplicial space
From Goerss-Jardine ch VII: One of the most commonly used tools in homotopy theory is the homotopy spectral sequence of a cosimplicial space. This first appeared in the work of Bousfield and Kan [14] and has been further analyzed by Bousfield [10]. Two of the standard examples include the Bousfield-Kan spectral sequence — an unstable Adams spectral sequence that arose before the general example [7] — and the spectral sequence for computing the homotopy groups of the homotopy inverse limit of a diagram of pointed spaces. One of the main purposes of this chapter is to define and discuss this kind of spectral sequence. We will do much more however; for example, we will give a detailed analysis of the total tower of a cosimplicial space, which is the basic object from which the spectral sequence is derived.

arXiv:1007.0632 Homotopy spectral sequences from arXiv Front: math.CT by Marco Grandis In homotopy theory, exact sequences and spectral sequences consist of groups and pointed sets, linked by actions. We prove that the theory of such exact and spectral sequences can be established in a categorical setting which is based on the existence of kernels and cokernels with respect to an assigned ideal of null morphisms, a generalisation of abelian categories and Puppe-exact categories.
arXiv:1001.1556 A general framework for homotopic descent and codescent from arXiv Front: math.KT by Kathryn Hess In this paper we elaborate a general homotopy-theoretic framework in which to study problems of descent and completion and of their duals, codescent and cocompletion. Our approach to homotopic (co)descent and to derived (co)completion can be viewed as $\infty$-category-theoretic, as our framework is constructed in the universe of simplicially enriched categories, which are a model for $(\infty, 1)$-categories.
We provide general criteria, reminiscent of Mandell's theorem on $E_{\infty}$-algebra models of $p$-complete spaces, under which homotopic (co)descent is satisfied. Furthermore, we construct general descent and codescent spectral sequences, which we interpret in terms of derived (co)completion and homotopic (co)descent.We show that a number of very well-known spectral sequences, such as the unstable and stable Adams spectral sequences, the Adams-Novikov spectral sequence and the descent spectral sequence of a map, are examples of general (co)descent spectral sequences. There is also a close relationship between the Lichtenbaum-Quillen conjecture and homotopic descent along the Dwyer-Friedlander map from algebraic K-theory to étale K-theory. Moreover, there are intriguing analogies between derived cocompletion (respectively, completion) and homotopy left (respectively, right) Kan extensions and their associated assembly (respectively, coassembly) maps.<]]>- Spectral tripleWrite comment View comments

Tierney in LNM0087 has notes on the problem of inverting an endomorphism and adding directed colimits to a cat. Also a proof of the stable Dold-Kan correspondence, relating FD-spectra and unbounded chain complexes.
Ref: notes by Dundas. See also a blog post by Greg Muller and a survey article by Greenlees. Also the very brief appendix to Lichtenbaum: Motivic complexes. Maybe Whitehead: Recent advances in homotopy theory, and other older sources.
Let us write "space" for simplicial set.
In algebraic topology, a spectrum is a sequence of simplicial sets together with "structure" maps . A map of spectra is a sequence of maps compatible with the structure maps. Get a category of spectra.
Examples: Sphere spectrum, Eilenberg-MacLane spectrum (the 2nd is an -spectrum).
An -spectrum is a spectrum for which the adjoint maps are homotopy equivalences. These spectra are the fibrant objects in the category of spectra.
Let be a simplicial set, and a spectrum. We define to be the spectrum . We define to be the spectrum . Here is the mapping space of pointed simplicial sets, see Simplicial set.
The suspension spectrum functor from to has a right adjoint, the zero'th space functor (sometimes called the underlying space). The term "underlying space" can also refer to the underlying infinite loop space, .
We define the homotopy groups of a spectrum as
This defines a functor from spectra to graded abelian groups.
We say that a map of spectra is a stable equivalence if it induces an isomorphism on all homotopy groups. Inverting the stable equivalences produces the stable homotopy category. It is additive, and has a tensor product induced by the smash product.
Every cohomology theory is represented by a spectrum, and every spectrum represents a cohomology theory. This correspondence is given as follows: For a simplicial set , we define "homology" and "cohomology" . In particular, taking the homology associated to sphere spectrum, we get the stable homotopy groups of .
We can define a model structure on spectra, by defining WEs and fibrations levelwise, and cofibrations by the lifting property. Dundas (page 43) calls this the pointwise model structure. Using the same cofibrations, and the stable equivalences, he defines a stable fibration to be a map with the RLP wrt all cofibrations which are stable equivalences. This gives the stable model structure on .
Stuff from Adams
Lots of examples.

A lot more, see the summary of the book.
Brief summary of Jardine: Generalized étale cohomology theories
Chapter 1: Smash products of spectra. Defines spectra, cofibration, stable equivalence, stable cofibration. A spectrum is stably fibrant iff all its components are Kan complexes, such that each of the adjoint of the structure maps are weak equivalences. Construction of functorial smash product of two spectra.
A bispectrum can be interpreted as a spectrum object in the category of spectra. Such a thing is formed by the pointed simplicial sets , together with structure maps in "horizontal and vertical" direction. The problem is to extract a homotopy type from this. In Jardine, will work with Adams' original handicrafted smash product.
Def of fake suspention spectrum and fake loop spectrum of a spectrum . These are adjoint endofunctors of .
Also define: n-fold spectrum, admissible function, admissible path, canonical path, canonical composite, diagonal spectrum, function complex, loop spectrum, loops space, partial spectrum, -spectrum.
Chapter 2: Abstract homotopy theory of n-fold spectra.
Intro: The category of n-fold spectra carries model structure both for the strict (i.e. levelwise) and the stable weak equivalences. The diagonal functor from n-fold spectra to spectra, induces an equivalence of homotopy categories. In other words, n-fold spectra is a model for the stable homotopy category. Analougously, the the stable homotopy categories arising from presheaves of spectra, and from presheaves of n-fold spectra, are equivalent. Keep in mind: The category of presheaves of spectra on a fixed site is not necessarily a model for the ordinary stable homotopy category. In fact, every Grothendieck topology gives rise to its own particular stable homotopy category. However, these theories are not unrelated. We will also show that the stable homotopy categories of presheaves of spectra carry a symmetric monoidal structure, with mult given by smash product, and unit given by the sphere spectrum.
Section 2.1 and 2.2: n-fold spectra, model structures, various compatibilities, equivalence of homotopy cats.
Section 2.3: Simplicial presheaves and pointed simplicial presheaves on a site. Model structures on these. Local WEs: in the presence of enough points these are defined by being WEs of simplicial sets on the stalks (otherwise, a condition on IMs of certain associated sheaves).

arXiv:1303.7108 A classification of small homotopy functors from spectra to spectra fra arXiv Front: math.AT av Boris Chorny We show that every small homotopy functor from spectra to spectra is weakly equivalent to a filtered colimit of representable functors represented in cofibrant spectra. Moreover, we present this classification as a Quillen equivalence of the category of small functors from spectra to spectra equipped with the homotopy model structure and the opposite of the pro-category of spectra with the strict model structure.

Classically, the stable homotopy category is the homotopy category of the model category of spectra. Replacing spectra by symmetric spectra or S-modules give equivalent results.
Hovey, Palmieri and Strickland discusses axiomatic notions of stable homotopy categories. For more on this, see their original article, the discussion in Hovey's book, section 7.2, and also the article in Greenlees (ed): Axiomatic, Enriched and Motivic Homotopy Theory. A related MO link: http://mathoverflow.net/questions/98982/non-noetherian-stable-homotopy
To get a flavor of the axiomatics, Hovey defines an algebraic stable homotopy category as closed symmetric monoidal triangulated category together with a set of small strongly dualizable weak generators.

Under certain natural assumptions, we show an existence of functorial towers for symmetric powers in distinguished triangles whose cones can be computed by Kuenneth's rule. Our theory is applicable to the topological and motivic stable homotopy categories through the idea of symmetric spectra. Some applications are presented and open questions are raised in both topological and motivic settings.

arXiv:1004.3087 Monoidal Infinity Category of Complexes from Tannakian Viewpoint from arXiv Front: math.AT by Hiroshi Fukuyama, Isamu Iwanari In this paper we prove that a morphism between schemes or stacks naturally corresponds to a symmetric monoidal functor between stable infinity-categories of quasi-coherent complexes. It can be viewed as a derived analogue of Tannaka duality. As a consequence, we deduce that an algebraic stack satisfying a certain condition can be recovered from the stable infinity-category of quasi-coherent complexes with tensor operation.

http://www.ncatlab.org/nlab/show/stable+model+category
A stable model category is a pointed model category whose homotopy category is triangulated, meaning that the suspension functor is an equivalence.
Examples: , for R a commutative ring. Also , for a commutative Hopf algebra over a field. S-modules. Symmetric spectra.
Non-examples: and
Can define closed monoidal triangulated category and show that the homotopy category of a stable monoidal model category is closed monoidal triangulated. See Hovey p. 178.
In a stable model category, homotopy pullback squares and homotopy pushout squares coincide.
arXiv:1204.5384 Stable left and right Bousfield localisations from arXiv Front: math.AT by David Barnes, Constanze Roitzheim We study left and right Bousfield localisations of stable model categories which preserve stability. This follows the lead of the two key examples: localisations of spectra with respect to a homology theory and A-torsion modules over a ring R with A a perfect R-algebra. We exploit stability to see that the resulting model structures are technically far better behaved than the general case. We can give explicit sets of generating cofibrations, show that these localisations preserve properness and give a complete characterisation of when they preserve monoidal structures. We apply these results to obtain convenient assumptions under which a stable model category is spectral. We then use Morita theory to gain an insight into the nature of right localisation and its homotopy category. We finish with a correspondence between left and right localisation.

In Voevodsky (and Deligne): Lectures on cross functors, there is a discussion of the formalism of the four Grothendieck operations. This is maybe superseded by Ayoub's work. However, the lectures have some nice brief background info on the formalism (for etale sheaves), including PD and the four kind of (co)homology, indicating where there are difficulties. There is not really any material on motivic homotopy theory, it just says that such applications will be given "later".

Voevodsky comment during a talk in Muenster: Regarding the Morel-Hopkins iso. They probably prove it using the computation of the Steenrod alg, so restriction on char. I think it should be proven using geometric argument similar to Levine zero-slice paper. Then one could go the other way around, and use this iso to compute the Steenrod algebra without any char/torsion restrictions, e.g. ok.

I think all the following is true, but it is just from my bad memory: A Stein manifold is defined by three properties, maybe analytically convex and two other things. It turns out that Stein manifolds are exactly the closed analytic submanifolds of . Cartan's Theorem A and Theorem B are about coherent sheaves on Stein manifolds, and say that such a sheaf is generated by its global sections, and has vanishing higher cohomology.

Each of these categories of structured spectra has a corresponding category of structured spaces that receives the infinite loop space functor \Omega^\infty. We prove that these models for spaces are Quillen equivalent and that the infinite loop space functors \Omega^\infty agree. This comparison is then used to show that two different constructions of the spectrum of units gl_1 R of a structured ring spectrum R agree.

The original article, by Hovey, Shipley and Smith, is here.
Stefan Schwede has an interesting online book project
Jardine on presheaves of symmetric spectra: "This paper shows that there is a proper closed simplicial model category on the category of presheaves of symmetric spectra on an arbitrary Grothendieck site, and that the resulting homotopy category is equivalent to the stable category of presheaves of spectra."
Jardine on A1-local symmetric spectra: K0350. This article is replaced by Motivic symmetric spectra: "The paper demonstrates the existence of a theory of symmetric spectra for the motivic stable category. The main results imply the existence of a categorical model for the motivic stable category which has an internal symmetric monoidal smash product. More explicitly, it is shown that there is a proper closed simplicial model category structure for the category of symmetric T-spectra, suitably defined, on the smooth Nisnevich site of a noetherian scheme of finite type. The weak equivalences for this structure are stable equivalences, defined by analogy with the definitions given by Hovey, Shipley and Smith for ordinary symmetric spectra and by Jardine for presheaves of symmetric spectra, except that one suspends by the Morel-Voevodsky object T, and the underlying unstable category is the motivic closed model structure for simplicial presheaves on the Nisnevich site. The homotopy category obtained from the category of symmetric T-spectra is equivalent to the motivic stable category. "

arXiv:1108.3509 Positive model structures for abstract symmetric spectra from arXiv Front: math.AT by Sergey Gorchinskiy, Vladimir Guletskii We prove the existence of a suitable "positive" model structure for symmetric spectra over an abstract simplicial monoidal model category. This allows to generalize the theorem due to Elmendorf, Kriz, Mandell and May saying that the $n$-th symmetric power of a positively cofibrant topological spectrum is stably equivalent to the $n$-th homotopy symmetric power of that spectrum, see \cite{EKMM}, III, 5.1, and \cite{MMSS}, 15.5. As a consequence, we also prove the existence of left derive symmetric powers for abstract symmetric spectra. The results are general enough to be applicable to the Morel-Voevodsky's motivic symmetric spectra of schemes over a field.
