What's the "Yoga of Motives"?

Conjecturally, the theory of motives is essentially determined by intersection theory of schemes, while higher Chow groups (i.e. motivic cohomology) should be to motives what Deligne cohomology is to mixed … At last, the category of pure motives mentioned above should be a full tensor subcategory of the abelian category of mixed motives over the ground field. …

Is the scalar extension functor for Chow motives conservative?

\to A_i$ has a retraction, so that, writing $CHM(E)$ as the $2$-colimit of the categories $CHM(A_i)$, we see easily that the extension of scalars functors is again faithful and conservative (for Chow motives … If you really want Chow motives with integral coefficients, you mays still have to invert the (exponential) characteristic of $F$. …

commutativity constraint in Grothendieck's motives

Let $DM_{gm}(k)$ be Voevodsky's triangulated category of geometric (=constructible) motives over $k$, with rationnal coefficients. … The objects of the category $MM(k)$ are, by definition, mixed motives. …

What exactly do the standard conjectures in characteristic zero refer to?

There is, for each field $k$ the category $M(k)$ of pure motives over $k$, where the Hom' s are Chow groups up to numerical equivalence. … cohomology over $k_i$ for which the standard conjectures hold, then the category $M(k)$ is the filtered 2-colimit of the tannakian categories $M(k_i)$: this comes from the fact this is true for the version of motives

Motives over the complex numbers versus mixed Hodge structures

category $\mathsf{MM}(\mathbf{C})$ is expected to be the heart of the motivic $t$-structure on the triangulated category $\mathsf{DM}_{et}(\mathbf{C})$ of Voevodsky's constructible (or geometric) étale motives … (the one obtained from étale sheaves with transfers; the triangulated category of motives obtained from Nisnevich sheaves with transfers (which is known to coincide with $\mathsf{DM}_{et}(\mathbf{C}) …

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

Either way, none of these constructions determines Voevodsky's theory of motives. … Finally, this idea of defining motives by forcing Betti cohomology to be a fiber functor is not new at all: if we restrict to pure motives (motives of smooth and projective varieties), this boils down …

Tate twists and cohomology of $\mathbf{P}^1$

The Tate twist is what we need to express Poincaré duality without making any choice. Such a choice appears in the choice of an orientation of the affine line minus the origin, and have shadows in the …

What's motivic about $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy theory? What's motivic about correspondences?

There is no need a priori to define these categories of motives starting from correspondences. … Each of these properties drives us to some theory of of motives. If you insist on finite correspondences, you will go in the direction of $DM(X,\mathbb{Q})$. …
