Let R be a discrete valuation ring with infinite residue field and X a smooth projective curve over R. Let G be a simple simply-connected group scheme over R and E a principal G-bundle over X. It is proved that E is trivial locally for the Zariski topology on X providing E is trivial over the generic point of X. The main aim of the present paper is to develop a method rather than to get a very strong concrete result.

The main results of the paper are two purity theorems for reductive group schemes over regular local rings containing a field. Using these two theorems a well-known Grothendieck-Serre conjecture on principal bundles is reduced to the simply-connected case. We point out that the mentioned reduction is one of the major steps in the proof of the conjecture that the author published in another work. Bibliography: 25 titles.

A very short proof of an unpublished result due to O. Gabber is given. More exactly, let R be a regular local ring containing a finite field k. Let G be a simply-connected reductive group scheme over k. It is proved that a principal G-bundle over R is trivial if it is trivial over the fraction field of R. This is the mentioned unpublished result due to O. Gabber. In this paper, this result is derived from a purely geometric one, proved in another paper of the author and stated in the Introduction.

The category of framed correspondences $Fr_*(k)$, framed presheaves and framed sheaves were invented by Voevodsky in his unpublished notes [12]. Based on the theory, framed motives are introduced and studied in [7]. The main aim of this paper is to prove that for any $\mathbb A^1$-invariant quasi-stable radditive framed presheaf of Abelian groups $\mathcal F$, the associated Nisnevich sheaf $\mathcal F_{nis}$ is $\mathbb A^1$-invariant whenever the base field $k$ is infinite of characteristic different from 2. Moreover, if the base field $k$ is infinite perfect of characteristic different from 2, then every $\mathbb A^1$-invariant quasi-stable Nisnevich framed sheaf of Abelian groups is strictly $\mathbb A^1$-invariant and quasi-stable. Furthermore, the same statements are true in characteristic 2 if we also assume that the $\mathbb A^1$-invariant quasi-stable radditive framed presheaf of Abelian groups $\mathcal F$ is a presheaf of $\mathbb Z[1/2]$-modules. This result and the paper are inspired by Voevodsky's paper [13].

We construct an algebraic commutative ring T -spectrum BO which is stably fibrant and (8, 4)-periodic and such that on SmOp/S the cohomology theory (X, U) 7→ BO(X+/U+) and Schlichting’s hermitian K-theory functor (X, U) 7→ KO [q] 2q−p(X, U) are canonically isomorphic. We use the motivic weak equivalence Z×HGr ∼ −→ KSp relating the infinite quaternionic Grassmannian to symplectic K-theory to equip BO with the structure of a commutative monoid in the motivic stable homotopy category. When the base scheme is SpecZ[ 1 2 ], this monoid structure and the induced ring structure on the cohomology theory BO are the unique structures compatible with the products KO [2m] 0 (X)× KO [2n] 0 (Y ) → KO [2m+2n] 0 (X × Y ). on Grothendieck-Witt groups induced by the tensor product of symmetric chain complexes. The cohomology theory is bigraded commutative with the switch map acting on BO(T∧T ) in the same way as multiplication by the Grothendieck-Witt class of the symmetric bilinear space 〈−1〉.

Let mu: G --> T be an R-group schemes morphism between reductive R-group schemes, which is smooth as a scheme morphism. Suppose that T is an R-torus.Then the map T(R)/mu(G(R)) --> T(K)/mu(G(K)) is injective and certain purity theorem is true.These and other results are derived from an extended form of Grothendieck--Serre conjecture proven in the present paper for rings R as above., arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1707.01763, arXiv:1406.1129

Sobol' sensitivity indices allow to quantify the respective effects of random input variables and their combinations on the variance of mathematical model output. We focus on the problem of Sobol' indices estimation via a metamodeling approach where we replace the true mathematical model with a sample-based approximation to compute sensitivity indices. We propose a new method for indices quality control and obtain asymptotic and non-asymptotic risk bounds for Sobol' indices estimates based on a general class of metamodels. Our analysis is closely connected with the problem of nonparametric function fitting using the orthogonal system of functions in the random design setting. It considers the relation between the metamodel quality and the error of the corresponding estimator for Sobol' indices and shows the possibility of fast convergence rates in the case of noiseless observations. The theoretical results are complemented with numerical experiments for the approximations based on multivariate Legendre and Trigonometric polynomials.

The machinery of framed (pre)sheaves was developed by Voevodsky [V1]. Based on the theory, framed motives of algebraic varieties are introduced and studied in [GP1]. An analog of Voevodsky's Cancellation Theorem [V1] is proved in this paper for framed motives stating that a natural map of framed $S^1$-spectra $$M_{fr}(X)(n)\to\underline{\textrm{Hom}}(\mathbb G,M_{fr}(X)(n+1)),\quad n\geq 0,$$ is a schemewise stable equivalence, where $M_{fr}(X)(n)$ is the $n$th twisted framed motive of $X$. This result is also necessary for the proof of the main theorem of [GP1] computing fibrant resolutions of suspension $\mathbb P^1$-spectra $\Sigma^\infty_{\mathbb P^1}X_+$ with $X$ a smooth algebraic variety. The Cancellation Theorem for framed motives is reduced to the Cancellation Theorem for linear framed motives stating that the natural map of complexes of abelian groups \[ \mathbb ZF(\Delta^\bullet \times X,Y) \to \mathbb ZF((\Delta^\bullet \times X)\wedge (\mathbb G_m,1),Y\wedge (\mathbb G_m,1)),\quad X,Y\in Sm/k, \] is a quasi-isomorphism, where $\mathbb ZF(X,Y)$ is the group of stable linear framed correspondences in the sense of [GP1]., Comment: This is the final revised version; accepted by Advances Math

Ananyevskiy has recently computed the stable operations and cooperations of rational Witt theory. These computations enable us to show a motivic analog of Serre's finiteness result. Theorem. Let k be a field of characteristic different from two. Then πnA1(Sk−)∗ is torsion for n>0. As an application, we define a category of Witt motives and show that rationally this category is equivalent to the minus part of SH(k)Q.

Let R be a semilocal Dedekind domain, and let K be the field of fractions of R. Let G be a reductive semisimple simply connected R-group scheme such that every semisimple normal R-subgroup scheme of G contains a split R-torus $$ {\mathbb{G}}_{m,R} $$ . It is proved that the kernel of the map $$ {H}_{\overset{\prime }{e}t}^1\left(R,\kern0.5em G\right)\to {H}_{\overset{\prime }{e}t}^1\left(K,\kern0.5em G\right) $$ induced by the inclusion of R into K is trivial. This result partially extends the Nisnevich theorem.

It is shown that the Grayson tower for $K$-theory of smooth algebraic varieties is isomorphic to the slice tower of $S^1$-spectra. We also extend the Grayson tower to bispectra and show that the Grayson motivic spectral sequence is isomorphic to the motivic spectral sequence produced by the Voevodsky slice tower for the motivic $K$-theory spectrum $KGL$. This solves Suslin's problem for these two spectral sequences in the affirmative., Comment: This is the final revised version

A version of the lemma proved by M. Levine and F. Morel in their book “Algebraic cobordisms,” is reformulated in the Chow group context. The obtained statement turns out to be valid in any characteristic and its proof is substantially shortened.

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a semisimple Lie algebra. We establish a new relation between the Goldie rank of a primitive ideal $\mathcal{J}\subset U(\mathfrak{g})$ and the dimension of the corresponding irreducible representation $V$ of an appropriate finite W-algebra. Namely, we show that $\operatorname{Grk}(\mathcal{J}) \leqslant \dim V/d_V$, where $d_V$ is the index of a suitable equivariant Azumaya algebra on a homogeneous space. We also compute $d_V$ in representation theoretic terms., 13 pages; v2 15 pages, improved exposition, accepted version

Let R be a regular local ring, containing an infinite field. Let G be a reductive group scheme over R. We prove that a principal G-bundle over R is trivial, if it is trivial over the fraction field of R., Section "Formal loops and affine Grassmannians" is removed as this is now covered in arXiv:1308.3078. Exposition is improved and slightly restructured. Some minor corrections

In a series of papers [Pan0], [Pan1], [Pan2], [Pan3] we give a detailed and better structured proof of the Grothendieck--Serre's conjecture for semi-local regular rings containing a finite field. The outline of the proof is the same as in [P1],[P2],[P3]. If the semi-local regular ring contains an infinite field, then the conjecture is proved in [FP]. Thus the conjecture is true for regular local rings containing a field. The present paper is the one [Pan1] in that new series. Theorem 1.1 is one of the main result of the paper. It is also one of the key steps in the proof of the Grothendieck--Serre's conjecture for semi-local regular rings containing a field (see [Pan3]). The proof of Theorem 1.1 is completely geometric., Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1406.0241

For any perfect field k a triangulated category of K-motives is constructed in the style of Voevodsky's construction of the category . To each smooth k-variety X the K-motive is associated in the category andwhere pt = Spec(k) and K(X) is Quillen's K-theory of X.

Sobol' indices are a common metric of dependency in sensitivity analysis. It is used as a measure of confidence of input variables influence on the output of the analyzed mathematical model. We consider a problem of selection of experimental design points for Sobol' indices estimation. Based on the concept of D-optimality, we propose a method for constructing an adaptive design of experiments, effective for the calculation of Sobol' indices from Polynomial Chaos Expansions. We provide a set of applications that demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach.

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 Nisnevich local level weak equivalence of $S^1$-spectra $$M_{fr}(X\times (\mathbb{A}^1// \mathbb G_m)^{\wedge n})\to M_{fr}(X\times T^n).$$ Moreover, it is proven that the sequence of $S^1$-spectra $$M_{fr}(X \times T^n \times \mathbb G_m) \to M_{fr}(X \times T^n \times\mathbb A^1) \to M_{fr}(X \times T^{n+1})$$ is locally a homotopy cofiber sequence in the Nisnevich topology. Another important result of this paper shows that homology of framed motives is computed as linear framed motives in the sense of [GP1]. This computation is crucial for the whole machinery of framed motives [GP1]., Comment: This is the final revised version

A general duality theorem for the category of motives is established, with a short, simple, and self-contained proof. Introduction Recently, due to the active study of cohomological invariants in algebraic geometry, “transplantation” of classical topological constructions to the algebraic-geometrical “soil” seems to be rather important. In particular, it is very interesting to study topological properties of the category of motives. The concept of a motive was introduced by Alexander Grothendieck in 1964 in order to formalize the notion of universal (co-)homology theory (see the detailed exposition of Grothendieck’s ideas in [5]). For us, the principal example of this type is the category of motives DM−, constructed by Voevodsky [12] for algebraic varieties. The Poincare duality is a classical and fundamental result in algebraic topology that initially appeared in Poincare’s first topological memoir “Analysis Situs” [9] (as a part of the Betti numbers symmetry theorem proof). The proof of the general duality theorem for extraordinary cohomology theories apparently belongs to Adams [1]. Our purpose in this paper is to establish a general duality theorem for the category of motives. Essentially, we extend the main statement of [8] to this category. Many known results can easily be interpreted in these terms. In particular, we get a generalization of the Friedlander–Voevodsky duality theorem [4] to the case of the ground field of arbitrary characteristic. The proof of this fact, involving the main result of [8], was kindly conveyed to the authors by Andrěi Suslin in a private communication. Being inspired by his work and Dold–Puppe’s category approach [2] to the duality phenomenon in topology, we decided to present a short, simple, and self-contained proof of a similar result for the category of motives. Our result might be viewed as a purely abstract theorem and rewritten in the spirit of “abstract nonsense” as a statement about some category with a distinguished class of morphisms. Essentially, what is required for the proof is the existence of finite fiber products and the terminal object in the category of varieties, a small part of the tensor triangulated category structure for motives, and finally, the existence of transfers for the class of morphisms generated by graphs of a special type (of projective morphisms). However, rather, we preferred to formulate all statements for motives of algebraic varieties in order to clarify the geometric nature of the construction and make possible applications easier. This led, in particular, to the appearence of the second (co)homology index responsible for twist with the Tate object Z(1) (see Voevodsky [12]). The only exception is the classical Example 2. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 14F42.

The concept of oriented cohomology theory is well-known in topology. Examples of these kinds of theories are complex cobordism, complex $K$-theory, usual singular cohomology, and Morava $K$-theories. A specific feature of these cohomology theories is the existence of trace operators (or Thom-Gysin operators, or push-forwards) for morphisms of compact complex manifolds. The main aim of the present article is to develop an algebraic version of the concept. Bijective correspondences between orientations, Chern structures, Thom structures and trace structures on a given ring cohomology theory are constructed. The theory is illustrated by singular cohomology, motivic cohomology, algebraic $K$-theory, the algebraic cobordism of Voevodsky and by other examples.

In the present paper, we generalize the Quillen presentation lemma. As an application, for a given functor with transfers, we prove the exactness of its Gersten complex with support.

Let R be a regular local ring, K its field of fractions and (V,ϕ) a quadratic space over R. Assume that R contains a field of characteristic zero we show that if (V,ϕ)⊗ R K is isotropic over K, then (V,ϕ) is isotropic over R. This solves the characteristic zero case of a question raised by J.-L. Colliot-Thelene in [3]. The proof is based on a variant of a moving lemma from [7]. A purity theorem for quadratic spaces is proved as well. It generalizes in the charactersitic zero case the main purity result from [9] and it is used to prove the main result in [2].

Quillen's algebraic K-theory is reconstructed via Voevodsky's algebraic cobordism. More precisely, for a ground field k the algebraic cobordism P^1-spectrum MGL of Voevodsky is considered as a commutative P^1-ring spectrum. There is a unique ring morphism MGL^{2*,*}(k)--> Z which sends the class [X]_{MGL} of a smooth projective k-variety X to the Euler characteristic of the structure sheaf of X. Our main result states that there is a canonical grade preserving isomorphism of ring cohomology theories MGL^{*,*}(X,U) \tensor_{MGL^{2*,*}(k)} Z --> K^{TT}_{- *}(X,U) = K'_{- *}(X-U)} on the category of smooth k-varieties, where K^{TT}_* is Thomason-Trobaugh K-theory and K'_* is Quillen's K'-theory. In particular, the left hand side is a ring cohomology theory. Moreover both theories are oriented and the isomorphism above respects the orientations. The result is an algebraic version of a theorem due to Conner and Floyd. That theorem reconstructs complex K-theory via complex cobordism., LaTeX, 18 pages, uses XY-pic

Let k be a field of characteristic zero, and let G be a split simple algebraic group of type G2 over k. We prove that the functor R↦He´t1(R,G) of G-torsors satisfies purity for regular local rings containing k. To cite this article: V. Chernousov, I. Panin, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 345 (2007).

Sensitivity analysis aims to identify which input parameters of a given mathematical model are the most important. One of the well-known sensitivity metrics is the Sobol sensitivity index. There is a number of approaches to Sobol indices estimation. In general, these approaches can be divided into two groups: Monte Carlo methods and methods based on metamodeling. Monte Carlo methods have well-established mathematical apparatus and statistical properties. However, they require a lot of model runs. Methods based on metamodeling allow to reduce a required number of model runs, but may be difficult for analysis. In this work, we focus on metamodeling approach for Sobol indices estimation, and particularly, on the initial step of this approach — design of experiments. Based on the concept of D-optimality, we propose a method for construction of an adaptive experimental design, effective for calculation of Sobol indices from a quadratic metamodel. Comparison of the proposed design of experiments with other methods is performed.

A smooth projective morphism p : T → S to a smooth variety S is considered. In particular, the following result is proved. The total direct image Rp*(ℤ/nℤ) of the constant etale sheaf ℤ/nℤ is locally (in Zariski topology) quasiisomorphic to a bounded complex \(\mathcal{L}\) on S that consists of locally constant, constructible etale sheaves of ℤ/nℤ-modules.

We reconstruct hermitian K-theory via algebraic symplectic cobordism. In the motivic stable homotopy category SH(S), there is a unique morphism ϕ: MSp → BO of commutative ring T-spectra which sends the Thom class thMSp to the Thom class thBO. Using ϕ we construct an isomorphism of bigraded ring cohomology theories on the category $${\mathop{\rm Sm}\nolimits} {\mathcal O}p/S,\bar \varphi :{{\mathop{\rm MSp}\nolimits} ^{*,*}}(X,U){ \otimes _{{\rm{MS}}{{\rm{p}}^{4*,0*}}({\rm{pt}})}}{\rm{B}}{{\rm{O}}^{4*,2*}}({\rm{pt}}) \cong {\rm{B}}{{\rm{O}}^{*,*}}(X,U)$$. The result is an algebraic version of the theorem of Conner and Floyd reconstructing real K-theory using symplectic cobordism. Rewriting the bigrading as MSpp,q = MSp1[q], we have an isomorphism $$\bar \varphi :{{\mathop{\rm MSp}\nolimits} _*}^{[*]}(X,U){ \otimes _{{\rm{MSp}}_0^{[2*]}({\rm{pt}})}}{\rm{KO}}_0^{[2*]}({\rm{pt}}) \cong {\rm{K}}{{\rm{O}}_*}^{[*]}(X,U)$$, where the KOi[](X,U) are Schlichting’s hermitian K-theory groups.

In the following paper we introduce the notion of orientable functor (orientable cohomology theory) on the category of projective smooth schemes and define a family of transfer maps. Applying this technique, we prove that with finite coefficients orientable cohomology of a projective variety is invariant with respect to the base-change given by an extension of algebraically closed fields. This statement generalizes the classical result of Suslin, concerning algebraic K -theory of algebraically closed fields. Besides K -theory, we treat such examples of orientable functors as etale cohomology, motivic cohomology, algebraic cobordism. We also demonstrate a method to endow algebraic cobordism with multiplicative structure and Chern classes.

A new approach to stable motivic homotopy theory is given. It is based on Voevodsky’s theory of framed correspondences. Using the theory, framed motives of algebraic varieties are introduced and studied in the paper. They are the major computational tool for constructing an explicit quasi-fibrant motivic replacement of the suspension P 1 \mathbb P^1 -spectrum of any smooth scheme X ∈ S m / k X\in Sm/k . Moreover, it is shown that the bispectrum ( M f r ( X ) , M f r ( X ) ( 1 ) , M f r ( X ) ( 2 ) , … ) , \begin{equation*} (M_{fr}(X),M_{fr}(X)(1),M_{fr}(X)(2),\ldots ), \end{equation*} each term of which is a twisted framed motive of X X , has the motivic homotopy type of the suspension bispectrum of X X . Furthermore, an explicit computation of infinite P 1 \mathbb P^1 -loop motivic spaces is given in terms of spaces with framed correspondences. We also introduce big framed motives of bispectra and show that they convert the classical Morel–Voevodsky motivic stable homotopy theory into an equivalent local theory of framed bispectra. As a topological application, it is proved that the framed motive M f r ( p t ) ( p t ) M_{fr}(pt)(pt) of the point p t = Spec ⁡ k pt=\operatorname {Spec} k evaluated at p t pt is a quasi-fibrant model of the classical sphere spectrum whenever the base field k k is algebraically closed of characteristic zero.

Let A be a regular local ring and K its field of fractions. We denote by W the Witt group functor that classifies quadratic spaces. We say that purity holds for A if W(A) is the intersection of all W(A p ) ⊂ W(K), as p runs over the height-one prime ideals of A. We prove purity for every regular local ring containing a field of characteristic ≠ 2. The question of purity and of the injectivity of W(A) into W(K) for arbitrary regular local rings is still open.

A kind of motivic algebra of spectral categories and modules over them is developed to introduce K-motives of algebraic varieties. As an application, bivariant algebraic K-theory as well as bivariant motivic kohomology groups are defined and studied. We use Grayson's machinery to produce the Grayson motivic spectral sequence connecting bivariant K-theory to bivariant motivic kohomology. It is shown that the spectral sequence is naturally realized in the triangulated category of K-motives constructed in the paper. It is also shown that ordinary algebraic K-theory is represented by the K-motive of the point., Comment: This is the final version; to appear Homology, Homotopy and Applications. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:math/0108143 by other authors

Under a certain normalization assumption we prove that the P1-spectrum BGL of Voevodsky which represents algebraic K-theory is unique over Spec.(Z). Following an idea of Voevodsky, we equip the P1-spectrum BGL with the structure of a commutative P1-ring spectrum in the motivic stable homotopy category. Furthermore, we prove that under a certain normalization assumption this ring structure is unique over Spec.(Z). For an arbitrary Noetherian scheme S of finite Krull dimension we pull this structure back to obtain a distinguished monoidal structure on BGL. This monoidal structure is relevant for our proof of the motivic Conner–Floyd theorem (Panin et al., Invent Math 175:435–451, 2008). It has also been used to obtain a motivic version of Snaith’s theorem (Gepner and Snaith, arXiv:0712.2817v1 [math.AG]).
