Status of motives in higher category theory: motives and algebraic cycles through a higher categorical perspective

A while ago this interesting question was asked Derived Algebraic Geometry and Chow Rings/Chow Motives. Primary question: Have there been any recent developments/advances on the above question? If not,...

Reference for facts used in Bloch, "Algebraic cycles and L-functions II"

The proof of lemma 1.1 in [1] does not give references for a few statements it uses. In the setting of the proof, $X$ is a smooth projective variety over a number field $k$ with a fixed embedding to $\...

Applications of the theory of derivators to constructing cone functors

One of main reasons that the theory of derivators was introduced is to fix the non-functoriality of the cone construction of triangulated categories. I know that today derivator theory is broad and ...

Stable $\infty$-category of motives

In nLab motive, it defines the derived category of motives as the full sub-$\infty$-category of the $\infty$-category of functors $\mathop{\mathrm{Fun}}(\mathrm{Cor}_k^{\mathrm{op}}, \mathcal S)$ ...

Deligne's letter to Soulé from 1985

There is a famous letter of Deligne to C. Soulé in which, apparently, Deligne first formulated the conjecture on the existence of an abelian category of mixed motives, extending Grothendieck's pure ...

On Grothendieck's idea on his Standard Conjecture B

Let me recall the Standard Conjecture B (see [1,2] below): The $\Lambda$-operation of Hodge theory is algebraic. It more or less says that the partial inverse to “cupping with the class of a ...

Which field extensions do not affect Chow groups?

Let $X$ be a (say, smooth projective) variety over a field $k$. For which $K$ it is known that the ("ordinary", that is, not higher) Chow groups of $X$ map onto that of $X_K$ bijectively? ...

Are "strongly finite dimensional" homotopy invariant sheaves with transfers (locally) constant?

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field. Let $S$ be a homotopy invariant $\mathbb{Q}$-linear sheaf with transfers in the sense of Voevodsky–Suslin, and assume that the dimension of $S(U)$ (over $\...

Does the pure motive determine the Voevodsky motive?

I do not quite understand the construction of Voevodsky motives yet. Let $k$ be a field (possibly not algebraically closed), $X$ be a connected smooth projective $k$-scheme. Does the motive of $X$ in ...

Chow Groups of varieties over number fields
