Pullback/pushforward of bivariant intersection classes

In chapter 17 of Fulton's Intersection Theory, he defines a bivariant intersection theory. I'm a bit puzzled by the pushforward/pullback he defines on page 322-323, though; they seem not analogous to …

Some questions about the map $K_0(\text{Var})\to K_0(\text{Mot})$

Answer to question #2 is no. (Also I don't know what I meant by "restrict to classes of smooth varieties" since these generate the ring in the only case where we know how to define the map.) $[\mathbb …

Some questions about the map $K_0(\text{Var})\to K_0(\text{Mot})$

Let $k$ be a field. The naive Grothendieck ring of varieties $K_0(\text{Var})$ is generated by isomorphism classes of varieties over $k$ with the scissors relation $[X]=[X-Y]+[Y]$ for $Y$ a closed sub …

What does taking the graded algebra do to the Grothendieck group, and its relation to the Ch...

Let $X$ be a nonsingular variety. (Perhaps some/all of this works over more general smooth schemes, but let's stick to the simple case.) In, e.g., Fulton's Intersection Theory chapter 15, and Soule's …

Deep/precise relationship between two approaches to FLT for polynomials, $n = 3$

I find it highly unlikely that the two proofs are really thematically linked in any way. The first, being an infinite descent proof, is in some sense doing geometry "over $\mathbb{C}[t]$" - in that on …

Overview and/or reference of theory of pro-universal covers?

This question will contain very little in the way of concrete information, because I don't have much to go on. I've heard whispers of something called a "pro-universal cover," which is the inverse lim …
