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 $...

Analytical Dold-Thom

Let's $X$ be a projective smooth variety over a field that has an embedding into $\mathbb{C}$. Let's denote the infinite symmetric power of $X$ by $\text{Sym}^{\infty}(X)$. Denote the algebraic ...

Support of torsion in the Borel–Moore homology

Given a complex quasi-projective variety $X$, let $\alpha$ be an element of the Borel–Moore homology $H_i^\text{BM}(X)$ such that it can be killed by a prime $p$. Under what conditions one can say ...

The multiplicativity of the (complex) geometric realization of motivic cohomology

Consider the (complex) geometric realization of the motivic cohomology theory on simplicial presheaves over complex smooth schemes, which is a functorial homomorphism of $R$-modules, where $R$ is the ...

Correspondences in Topology

I had one or two little fights with correspondences in the context of algebraic geometry where an elementary correspondence $C:X\to Y$ of connected smooth $k$-Schemes seems to be defined as an ...

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 ...

Contractibility of a $K_0^{\oplus}$ presheaf

Let's assume $X$ is a smooth projective variety over a field. Let $\Delta^{\bullet}$ be the cosimplicial scheme over the same field, where at level $n$ is just the $n$-th algebraic simplex. We can ...

Loop spaces of motivic Eilenberg-Mac Lane spaces

Consider the unstable $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy category (say over $\mathbb{C}$). By the loop space $\Omega X$ of an object $X$, we mean the homotopy fiber of $pt\to X$. For an abelian group A and the ...

Suspension Theorem in $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy

In algebraic topology, the suspension theorem tells us that for a topological space $X$, we have $$\tilde{H}^n(X,F)\cong \tilde{H}^{n+k}(S^k\wedge X,F).$$ So I'm wondering if this has an analogue in ...

What can be said about the Chow rings of classifying spaces of semi-direct products of groups?

For instance, what can we say about the Chow ring of the classifying space of a semi-direct product $CH^*(B(G\ltimes H))$, in terms of the Chow rings of $CH^*(BG)$, $CH^*(BH)$, and the singular ...

Proof that $Sing^IX$ is $I$-invariant for an interval object in a site by "simplicial decomposition"

I just saw a proof showing that $Sing^{A^1}X$ is $A^1$ invariant where they use an algebraic topological analogue of ``simplcial decomposition'' defined as follow: The argument works by showing that ...

A question about the (motivic) integral cohomology of the Eilenberg-MacLane spectrum

Let $H\mathbb{Z}$ be the Eilenberg-MacLane spectrum. Let $n\geq 0$ be any integer. Is it known the structure of the group $[H\mathbb{Z},\Sigma^{n}H\mathbb{Z}]$? Is there any reference in this ...

Thom class in motivic cohomology

Let $E$ be a vector bundle over a smooth scheme $X$. The Thom space of $E$ is $Th(E)=E/E-i(X)$ where $i\colon X \longrightarrow E$ is the zero section. This space is $\mathbb{A}^{1}$ isomorphic to $\...

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 $X$ ...

State of the art for Gersten's conjecture for K-theory?

Does anyone know (of a reference to) under what restrictions on the regular scheme $X$ it is known that we have an exact sequence $$0 \to \mathcal{K}_n(X) \to \bigoplus_{x \in X^{(0)}} K_n(k(x)) \to \...

Do there exist nontrivial motivic cohomology operations preserving weights?

Suppose that for each field $F$ a linear map $X(F): H_M^{p,q}(F, \mathbb{Q}) \longrightarrow H_M^{p,q}(F,\mathbb{Q})$ is given, such that $X$ commutes with inclusions of fields and transfers for ...

Can we reconstruct positive weight invariants in algebraic topology using algebraic geometry?
