Who proved the motivic 6-functor formalism?

In the recent beautiful talk "Motives and ring stacks" Peter Scholze states the theorem saying that there exists an initial 6-functor formalism on $\mathit{Sch}_\mathbb{Z}$ such that when $...

Values of cohomology theory on a point

$\DeclareMathOperator\Sm{Sm}$It is a well-known fact that in algebraic topology, generalized cohomology theories are determined by their values on the point. I was wondering whether anything similar ...

Motives and topological data analysis

Here is some meta mathematics question. During the last decade there has been some progress in the field of applied maths, called topological data analysis. The setup starts with some set of points in ...

Eilenberg-Steenrod cohomological theory versus Weil cohomological theory [closed]

Can someone enlighten me what is the difference between an Eilenberg-Steenrod cohomological theory ( See here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eilenberg%E2%80%93Steenrod_axioms ), and a Weil ...

Morava on Shafarevich conjecture

$\DeclareMathOperator\Q{\mathbf{Q}}$Jack Morava has some interesting ideas stemming from stable homotopy theory and geometric topology on the Shafarevich Conjecture. The Shafarevich Conjecture states: ...

How much of the category of motives can be recovered from automorphisms of the Betti functor

Say we are working with schemes over a field $k\subset \mathbb{C}.$ A motive in the sense of Voevodsky is a functor $Sch\to D^bVect$ from (an appropriate category of) schemes to the DG category of ...

Spectral sequences in $K$-theory

There is an algebraic analogue of the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence from singular cohomology to topological $K$-theory of a topological space. For a field $k$, let $X$ be smooth variety $X$ ...

Homotopy equivalence between two basepoints of the etale homotopy type of the one-torus

Let $T = \mathbb{G}_m$ be the torus, and let $\tilde{T}$ be its étale universal cover (a pro-object in schemes of finite type). Then both $T$ and $\tilde{T}$ have a well-defined étale homotopy type. ...

Motivic Galois theory and Betti realizations?

Why Motivic Galois groups are defined with Betti realizations? (In fact Absolute Galois groups can be defined in this way (with Betti realizations), why they are so related?).

For which varieties is the natural map from the Chow ring to integral cohomology an isomorphism?

My apologies if this question is too naive. Let $X$ be a smooth projective complex variety. There is a natural map $A^{\bullet}(X) \to H^{2\bullet}(X)$ of graded rings from the Chow ring of $X$ to ...

Ring structure for the motivic spectrum/complex that represents singular cohomology?

As the discussion here Is singular cohomology representable by a (Voevodsky's) motivic complex? shows, the singular cohomology of (smooth) complex varieties is represented by a motivic complex (...

Are finite correspondances flat?

In Voevodsky&Mazza&Weibel's book on motivic cohomology they define "an elementary correspondance from X (Smooth connected scheme over $k$) to Y (separated scheme over $k$) as an irreducible ...
