We construct the motive of an algebraic stack in the Nisnevich topology. For stacks which are Nisnevich locally quotient stacks, we give a presentation of the motive in terms of simplicial schemes. We also show that for quotient stacks the motivic cohomology agrees with the Edidin-Graham-Totaro Chow groups with integer coefficients.
In Voevodsky's theory of motives, the Nisnevich topology on smooth schemes is used as an important building block. In this paper, we introduce a Grothendieck topology on proper modulus pairs, which will be used to construct a non-homotopy invariant generalization of motives. We also prove that the topology satisfies similar properties to the Nisnevich topology.
We prove the excision theorem for the $K$-theory of perfect complexes on Deligne-Mumford stacks. This is then used to study the Nisnevich site of such stacks. We prove the Nisnevich descent for the $K$-theory of perfect complexes. We also draw some other consequences.
The category of framed correspondences $Fr_*(k)$ and framed sheaves were invented by Voevodsky in his unpublished notes [V2]. Based on the theory, framed motives are introduced and studied in [GP1]. These are Nisnivich sheaves of $S^1$-spectra and the major computational tool of [GP1]. The aim of this paper is to show the following result which is essential in proving the main theorem of [GP1]: given an infinite perfect base field $k$, any $k$-smooth scheme $X$ and any $n\geq 1$, the map of simplicial pointed Nisnevich sheaves $(-,\mathbb{A}^1//\mathbb G_m)^{\wedge n}_+\to T^n$ induces a Nisne…
We define and compare two different definitions of Chow motives for Deligne-Mumford stacks, associated with two definitions of Chow rings. The main result we prove is that both categories of motives are equivalent to the usual category of motives of algebraic varieties, but the motives of a given stack associated with both theories are not isomorphic. We will also give some examples of motives associated with some alegbraic stacks.
For every smooth and separated Deligne-Mumford stack $F$, we associate a motive $M(F)$ in Voevodsky's category of mixed motives with rational coefficients $\mathbf{DM}^{\eff}(k,\mathbb{Q})$. When $F$ is proper over a field of characteristic 0, we compare $M(F)$ with the Chow motive associated to $F$ by Toen (\cite{t}). Without the properness condition we show that $M(F)$ is a direct summand of the motive of a smooth quasi-projective variety.

We introduce the notion of extension of 1-motives. Using the dictionary between strictly commutative Picard stacks and complexes of abelian sheaves concentrated in degrees -1 and 0, we check that an extension of 1-motives induces an extension of the corresponding strictly commutative Picard stacks. We compute the Hodge, the de Rham and the l-adic realizations of an extention of 1-motives. Using these results we can prove Deligne's conjecture on extensions of 1-motives.
Given a perfect field of exponential characteristic $e$ and a functor $f:\mathcal A\to\mathcal B$ between symmetric monoidal strict $V$-categories of correspondences satisfying the cancellation property such that the induced morphisms of complexes of Nisnevich sheaves $$f_*:\mathbb Z_{\mathcal A}(q)[1/e]\to\mathbb Z_{\mathcal B}(q)[1/e],\quad q\geq 0,$$ are quasi-isomorphisms, it is proved that for every $k$-smooth algebraic variety $X$ the morphisms of twisted motives of $X$ with $\mathbb Z[1/e]$-coefficients $$M_{\mathcal A}(X)(q)\otimes\mathbb Z[1/e]\to M_{\mathcal B}(X)(q)\otimes\mathbb Z[…
We prove formulae for the motives of stacks of coherent sheaves of fixed rank and degree over a smooth projective curve in Voevodsky's triangulated category of mixed motives with rational coefficients.
We prove a formula for the motive of the stack of vector bundles of fixed rank and degree over a smooth projective curve in Voevodsky's triangulated category of mixed motives with rational coefficients.
We compute the motive of the classifying stack of an orthogonal group in the Grothendieck ring of stacks over a field of characteristic different from two.
Using Nisnevich coverings and a Hilbert stack of stacky points, we prove étale dévissage results for non-representable étale and quasi-finite flat coverings. We give applications to absolute noetherian approximation of algebraic stacks and compact generation of derived categories.
For a split reductive group G over a finite field, we show that the intersection (cohomology) motive of the moduli stack of iterated G-shtukas with bounded modification and level structure is defined independently of the standard conjectures on motivic t-structures on triangulated categories of motives. This is in accordance with general expectations on the independence of l in the Langlands correspondence for function fields.
We define and study the motive of the moduli stack of vector bundles of fixed rank and degree over a smooth projective curve in Voevodsky's category of motives. We prove that this motive can be written as a homotopy colimit of motives of smooth projective Quot schemes of torsion quotients of sums of line bundles on the curve. When working with rational coefficients, we prove that the motive of the stack of bundles lies in the localising tensor subcategory generated by the motive of the curve, using Bialynicki-Birula decompositions of these Quot schemes. We conjecture a formula for the motive o…
Let $G$ be a split connected semisimple group over a field. We give a conjectural formula for the motive of the stack of $G$-bundles over a curve $C$, in terms of special values of the motivic zeta function of $C$. The formula is true if $C=\pp^1$ or $G=\sln$. If $k=\cc$, upon applying the Poincaré or Serre characteristic, the formula reduces to results of Teleman and Atiyah-Bott on the gauge group. If $k=\ffq$, upon applying the counting measure, it reduces to the fact that the Tamagawa number of $G$ over the function field of $C$ is $|π_1(G)|$.
An abelian category of relative pure motives is constructed along the lines of André (over a field of characteristic 0). An algebraic stack is shown to possess a motive in this sense. This motive is studied for the moduli stack of G-bundles over the universal curve for appropriate G, and a motivic Atiyah-Bott formula is obtained. By taking Hodge realization, a description of the corresponding variations of Hodge structures over M_g is given. In particular, it follows that these lie in the tensor category generated by the variation of Hodge structure associated to the curve itself. Similar resu…
We show the compactly supported motive of the moduli stack of degree $n$ rational curves on the weighted projective stack $\mathcal{P}(a,b)$ is of mixed Tate type over any base field $K$ with $\text{char}(K) \nmid a,b$ and has class $\mathbb{L}^{(a+b)n+1}-\mathbb{L}^{(a+b)n-1}$ in the Grothendieck ring of stacks. In particular, this improves upon the result of [HP] regarding the arithmetic invariant of the moduli stack $\mathcal{L}_{1,12n} := \mathrm{Hom}_{n}(\mathbb{P}^1, \overline{\mathcal{M}}_{1,1})$ of stable elliptic fibrations over $\mathbb{P}^{1}$ with $12n$ nodal singular fibers and a …
We prove that the symmetric monoidal category of mixed motives generated by an abelian variety (more generally, an abelian scheme) can be described as a certain module category. More precisely, we describe it as the category of quasi-coherent complexes over a derived quotient stack constructed from a motivic algebra of the abelian variety. We then study the structure of the motivic Galois groups of their mixed motives. We prove that the motivic Galois group is decomposed into a unipotent part constructed from the motivic algebra, and the reductive quotient which is the Tannaka dual of Grothend…
We prove some fundamental results like localization, excision, Nisnevich descent and the Mayer-Vietoris property for equivariant regular blow-up for the equivariant K-theory of schemes with an affine group scheme action. We also show that the equivariant K-theory with finite coefficients is invariant under equivariant vector bundle morphisms. We show that the equivariant homotopy K-theory is invariant under equivariant vector bundle morphisms and satisfies all the above properties, including nil-invariance.
We propose a categorification of the Chern character that refines earlier work of Toën and Vezzosi and of Ganter and Kapranov. If X is an algebraic stack, our categorified Chern character is a symmetric monoidal functor from a category of mixed noncommutative motives over X, which we introduce, to S1-equivariant perfect complexes on the derived free loop stack LX. As an application of the theory, we show that Toën and Vezzosi's secondary Chern character factors through secondary K-theory. Our techniques depend on a careful investigation of the functoriality of traces in symmetric monoidal (inf…
Given a smooth projective variety $M$ endowed with a faithful action of a finite group $G$, following Jarvis-Kaufmann-Kimura and Fantechi-Göttsche, we define the orbifold motive (or Chen-Ruan motive) of the quotient stack $[M/G]$ as an algebra object in the category of Chow motives. Inspired by Ruan, one can formulate a motivic version of his Cohomological HyperKähler Resolution Conjecture. We prove this motivic version, as well as its K-theoretic analogue conjectured by Jarvis-Kaufmann-Kimura, in two situations related to an abelian surface $A$ and a positive integer $n$. Case (A) concerns Hi…
This thesis is concerned with the mixed Tate property of reductive algebraic groups $G$, which in particular guarantees a Chow Kunneth property for the classifying space $BG$. Toward this goal, we first refine the construction of the compactly supported motive of a quotient stack. In the first section, we construct the compactly supported motive $M^c(X)$ of an algebraic space $X$ and demonstrate that it satisfies expected properties, following closely Voevodsky's work in the case of schemes. In the second section, we construct a functorial version of Totaro's definition of the compactly suppor…
We give the first examples of finite groups G such that the Chow ring of the classifying space BG depends on the base field, even for fields containing the algebraic closure of Q. As a tool, we give several characterizations of the varieties which satisfy Kunneth properties for Chow groups or motivic homology. We define the (compactly supported) motive of a quotient stack in Voevodsky's derived category of motives. This makes it possible to ask when the motive of BG is mixed Tate, which is equivalent to the motivic Kunneth property. We prove that BG is mixed Tate for various "well-behaved" fin…
For a large class of good moduli spaces $X$ of symmetric stacks $\mathcal{X}$, we define noncommutative motives $\mathbb{D}^{\text{nc}}(X)$ which can be regarded as categorifications of the intersection cohomology of $X$. These motives are summands of noncommutative resolutions of singularities $\mathbb{D}(X)\subset D^b(\mathcal{X})$ of $X$. The category $\mathbb{D}(X)$ is a global analogue of the noncommutative resolutions of singularities of $V//G$ for $V$ a symmetric representation of a reductive group $G$ constructed by Špenko-Van den Bergh.
We do three things in this paper: (1) study the analog of localization sequences (in the sense of algebraic $K$-theory of stable $\infty$-categories) for additive $\infty$-categories, (2) define the notion of nilpotent extensions for suitable $\infty$-categories and furnish interesting examples such as categorical square-zero extensions, and (3) use (1) and (2) to extend the Dundas-Goodwillie-McCarthy theorem for stable $\infty$-categories which are not monogenically generated (such as the stable $\infty$-category of Voevodsky's motives or the stable $\infty$-category of perfect complexes on s…
