What is the proper initiation to the theory of motives for a new student of algebraic geometry?
A preliminary apology is in order: I realize that most of my contributions to this site are in the form of reference requests. I understand that this makes it seem as though I do nothing more than sit ...

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 ...

Chow Groups of varieties over number fields
I believe that there is a conjecture that for any smooth projective variety $X$ over a number field $K$, its Chow groups $CH^i(X)$ (or at least $CH^i(X)\otimes_{\mathbf Z} \mathbf Q$) are finitely ...

The vanishing of $MGL^{2n+i,n}(X)$; do spectra of smooth projective varieties generate $SH_{l}$?
I have two questions related to the stable motivic homotopy categories of Morel-Voevodsky. The first is probably simple; I wonder what is known on the second one.
For the algebraic cobordism theory $...
