With the aim of understanding Morel's result on the $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy sheaves over a field, one extends the theory of unstable spectral sequences of Bousfield and Kan in the $\infty$-categorical setting. With this natural extension, parallel to the classical formalism of 'cohomology theory with supports', we introduce the notion of 'cohomotopy theory with supports'. We extend the Bloch-Ogus-Gabber theorem for Cohomology theory with supports to that of unstable setting, to obtain unstable Gersten (or Cousin) resolutions associated to the coniveau filtration, under suitable assumptions. We apply this theory to motivic homotopy, Nisnevich-local torsors, and Artin-Mazur \'etale homotopy type., Comment: Comments are welcome

In this article, we produce Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch formulas for cohomology theories that are not oriented in the classical sense. We then specialize to the case of cohomology theories that admit a so-called symplectic orientation and show how to compute the relevant Todd classes in that situation. At the end of the article, we illustrate our methods on the Borel character linking Hermitian K-theory and rational MW-motivic cohomology., Comment: 54 pages, comments welcome!

These notes are devoted to the foundations of Milnor-Witt K-theory of fields of arbitrary characteristic and without any perfectness assumptions. Extending the fundamental work of Morel, we establish all its functorial properties as stated in Feld's theory of Milnor-Witt modules, with a special attention about twists. The main new result is a computation of transfers in the general (in particular inseparable) case in terms of Grothendieck (differential) trace maps. These notes are used as the foundation for an expository work on Chow-Witt groups. They are built upon a series of talks given at the Spring School ``Invariants in Algebraic Geometry'', organized by Daniele Faenzi, Adrien Dubouloz and Ronan Terpereau., Comment: 78 pages.

In this note we study the functoriality of the coniveau filtration in motivic homotopy theory via a moving lemma over a base scheme, extending previous works of Levine and Bachmann-Yakerson. The main result is that the motivic stable homotopy category can be modeled on a smaller site, the "smooth-smooth site". The proof is based on a new approach to the purity theorem of Morel-Voevodsky using specialization maps, which turns out to hold even in absence of the $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy invariance property. Applications to the homotopy coniveau tower and to higher Chow-Witt groups are given.

We compute the perverse delta-homotopy heart of the motivic stable homotopy category over a base scheme with a dimension function delta, rationally or after inverting the exponential characteristic in the equicharacteristic case. In order to do that, we define the notion of homological Milnor-Witt cycle modules and construct a homotopy-invariant Rost-Schmid cycle complex. Moreover, we define the category of cohomological Milnor-Witt cycle modules and show a duality result in the smooth case., Comment: 81 pages

We initiate a study of punctured tubular neighborhoods and homotopy theory at infinity in motivic settings. We use the six functors formalism to give an intrinsic definition of the stable motivic homotopy type at infinity of an algebraic variety. Our main computational tools include cdh-descent for normal crossing divisors, Euler classes, Gysin maps, and homotopy purity. Under $\ell$-adic realization, the motive at infinity recovers a formula for vanishing cycles due to Rapoport-Zink; similar results hold for Steenbrink's limiting Hodge structures and Wildeshaus' boundary motives. Under the topological Betti realization, the stable motivic homotopy type at infinity of an algebraic variety recovers the singular complex at infinity of the corresponding topological space. We coin the notion of homotopically smooth morphisms with respect to a motivic $\infty$-category and use it to show a generalization to virtual vector bundles of Morel-Voevodsky's purity theorem, which yields an escalated form of Atiyah duality with compact support. Further, we study a quadratic refinement of intersection degrees, taking values in motivic cohomotopy groups. For relative surfaces, we show the stable motivic homotopy type at infinity witnesses a quadratic version of Mumford's plumbing construction for smooth complex algebraic surfaces. Our construction and computation of stable motivic links of Du Val singularities on normal surfaces is expressed entirely in terms of Dynkin diagrams. In characteristic p>0, this improves Artin's analysis on Du Val singularities through \'etale local fundamental groups. The main results in the paper are also valid for $\ell$-adic sheaves, mixed Hodge modules, and more generally motivic $\infty$-categories., Comment: This paper subsumed arXiv:2104.03222.Final version.

We develop the algebraic formalism of the formal ternary laws of C. Walter and we compare them to Buchstaber's 2-valued formal group laws. We also compute the "elementary" formal ternary laws (after inverting 2) using a computer program available online., Comment: 35 pages. Updated introduction and various typos fixed.

We apply Wildeshaus's theory of motivic intermediate extensions to the motivic decomposition conjecture, formulated by Deninger-Murre and Corti-Hanamura. We first obtain a general motivic decomposition for the Chow motive of an arbitrary smooth projective family $f:X \rightarrow S$ whose geometric fibers are Tate. Using Voevodsky's motives with rational coefficients, the formula is valid for an arbitrary regular base $S$, without assuming the existence of a base field or even of a prime integer $\ell$ invertible on $S$. This result, and some of Bondarko' ideas, lead us to a generalized formulation of Corti-Hanamura's conjecture. Secondly we establish the existence of the motivic decomposition when $f:X \rightarrow S$ is a projective quadric bundle over a characteristic $0$ base, which is either sufficiently general or whose discriminant locus is a normal crossing divisor. This provides a motivic lift of the Bernstein-Beilinson-Deligne decomposition in this setting., Comment: Final version, 37 pages (introduction rewritten, details added in some proofs).

We study the structure of the rational motivic stable homotopy category over general base schemes. Our first class of results concerns the six operations: we prove absolute purity, stability of constructible objects, and Grothendieck-Verdier duality for SH_Q. Next, we prove that SH_Q is canonically SL-oriented; we compare SH_Q with the category of rational Milnor-Witt motives; and we relate the rational bivariant A^1-theory to Chow-Witt groups. These results are derived from analogous statements for the minus part of SH[1/2]., Comment: 53 pages, final version; to appear in Journal de l'\'Ecole polytechnique

We develop the theory of Milnor-Witt motives and motivic cohomology. Compared to Voevodsky's theory of motives and his motivic cohomology, the first difference appears in our definition of Milnor-Witt finite correspondences, where our cycles come equipped with quadratic forms. This yields a weaker notion of transfers and a derived category of motives that is closer to the stable homotopy theory of schemes. We prove a cancellation theorem when tensoring with the Tate object, we compare the diagonal part of our Milnor-Witt motivic cohomology to Minor-Witt K-theory and we provide spectra representing various versions of motivic cohomology in the $\mathbb{A}^1$-derived category or the stable homotopy category of schemes., Comment: 198 pages. This book is composed of updated versions of arXiv:1412.2989, arXiv:1708.06100, arXiv:1710.00594, arXiv:1708.06102, arXiv:1708.06098 and arXiv:1708.06095, together with an introduction, and an index

The main purpose of this article is to define a quadratic analog of the Chern character, the so-called Borel character, which identifies rational higher Grothendieck-Witt groups with a sum of rational MW-motivic cohomologies and rational motivic cohomologies. We also discuss the notion of ternary laws due to Walter, a quadratic analog of formal group laws, and compute what we call the additive ternary laws, associated with MW-motivic cohomology. Finally, we provide an application of the Borel character by showing that the Milnor-Witt K-theory of a field F embeds into suitable higher Grothendieck-Witt groups of F modulo explicit torsion., Comment: Major changes.

We prove absolute purity for the rational motivic sphere spectrum. The main ingredient is the construction of an analogue of the Chern character, where algebraic K-theory is replaced by hermitian K-theory, and motivic cohomology by the plus and minus parts of the rational sphere spectrum. Another ingredient is absolute purity for hermitian K-theory.

In this work, we build a spectral sequence in motivic homotopy that is analogous to both the Serre spectral sequence in algebraic topology and the Leray spectral sequence in algebraic geometry. Here, we focus on laying the foundations necessary to build the spectral sequence and give a convenient description of its $E_2$-page. Our description of the $E_2$-page is in terms of homology of the local system of fibers, which is given using a theory similar to Rost's cycle modules. We close by providing some sample applications of the spectral sequence and some hints at future work., Comment: 35 pages; comments welcome!

We develop the theory of fundamental classes in the setting of motivic homotopy theory. Using this we construct, for any motivic spectrum, an associated bivariant theory in the sense of Fulton-MacPherson. We import the tools of Fulton's intersection theory into this setting: (refined) Gysin maps, specialization maps, and formulas for excess intersections, self-intersections, and blow-ups. We also develop a theory of Euler classes of vector bundles in this setting. For the Milnor-Witt spectrum recently constructed by D\'eglise-Fasel, we get a bivariant theory extending the Chow-Witt groups of Barge-Morel, in the same way the higher Chow groups extend the classical Chow groups. As another application we prove a motivic Gauss-Bonnet formula, computing Euler characteristics in the motivic homotopy category., Comment: 45 pages, final version; to appear in JEMS

The aim of this work is to develop a theory parallel to that of motivic complexes based on cycles and correspondences with coefficients in quadratic forms. This framework is closer to the point of view of $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy than the original one envisioned by Beilinson and set up by Voevodsky., Comment: 36 pages

We build a ring spectrum representing Milnor-Witt motivic cohomology, as well as its \'etale local version and show how to deduce out of it three other theories: Borel-Moore homology, cohomology with compact support and homology. These theories, as well as the usual cohomology, are defined for singular schemes and satisfy the properties of their motivic analog (and more), up to considering more general twists. In fact, the whole formalism of these four theories can be functorially attached to any ring spectrum, giving finally maps between the Milnor-Witt motivic ones to the classical motivic ones., Comment: 28 pages.

The aim of this work is to construct certain homotopy t-structures on various categories of motivic homotopy theory, extending works of Voevodsky, Morel, D\'eglise and Ayoub. We prove these $t$-structures possess many good properties, some analogous to that of the perverse $t$-structure of Beilinson, Bernstein and Deligne. We compute the homology of certain motives, notably in the case of relative curves. We also show that their hearts provide convenient extensions of the theory of homotopy invariant sheaves with transfers, extending some of the main results of Voevodsky. These t-structures are closely related to Gersten weight structures as defined by Bondarko., Comment: 66 pages. Third version. Many corrections; in particular a proof that the heart of the delta-homotopy t-structure is a Grothendieck abelian category. Comments are welcome

We interpret syntomic cohomology of Nekov\'a\v{r}-Nizio{\l} as a $p$-adic absolute Hodge cohomology. This is analogous to the interpretation of Deligne-Beilinson cohomology as an absolute Hodge cohomology by Beilinson and generalizes the results of Bannai and Chiarellotto, Ciccioni, Mazzari in the good reduction case, and of Yamada in the semistable reduction case. This interpretation yields a simple construction of the syntomic descent spectral sequence and its degeneration for proper and smooth varieties. We introduce syntomic coefficients and show that in dimension zero they form a full triangulated subcategory of the derived category of potentially semistable Galois representations. Along the way, we obtain $p$-adic realizations of mixed motives including $p$-adic comparison isomorphisms. We apply this to the motivic fundamental group generalizing results of Olsson and Vologodsky.

For noetherian schemes of finite dimension over a field of characteristic exponent $p$, we study the triangulated categories of $\mathbf{Z}[1/p]$-linear mixed motives obtained from cdh-sheaves with transfers. We prove that these have many of the expected properties. In particular, the formalism of the six operations holds in this context. When we restrict ourselves to regular schemes, we also prove that these categories of motives are equivalent to the more classical triangulated categories of mixed motives constructed in terms of Nisnevich sheaves with transfers. Such a program is achieved by comparing these various triangulated categories of motives with modules over motivic Eilenberg-MacLane spectra., Comment: Final version

We define a theory of etale motives over a noetherian scheme. This provides a system of categories of complexes of motivic sheaves with integral coefficients which is closed under the six operations of Grothendieck. The rational part of these categories coincides with the triangulated categories of Beilinson motives (and is thus strongly related to algebraic $K$-theory). We extend the rigity theorem of Suslin and Voevodsky over a general base scheme. This can be reformulated by saying that torsion etale motives essentially coincide with the usual complexes of torsion etale sheaves (at least if we restrict ourselves to torsion prime to the residue characteristics). As a consequence, we obtain the expected results of absolute purity, of finiteness, and of Grothendieck duality for etale motives with integral coefficients, by putting together their counterparts for Beilinson motives and for torsion etale sheaves. Following Thomason's insights, this also provides a conceptual and convenient construction of the $\ell$-adic realization of motives, as the homotopy $\ell$-completion functor., Comment: Final version.

The aim of this paper is to show that Besser syntomic cohomology is representable by a rational ring spectrum in the motivic homotopical sense. In fact, extending previous constructions, we exhibit a simple representability criterion and we apply it to several cohomologies in order to get our central result. This theorem gives new results for syntomic cohomology such as h-descent and the compatibility of cycle classes with Gysin morphisms. Along the way, we prove that motivic ring spectra induces a complete Bloch-Ogus cohomological formalism and even more. Finally, following a general motivic homotopical philosophy, we exhibit a natural notion of syntomic coefficients., Comment: Final version to appear in the Journal de l'institut des Math\'ematiques de Jussieu. Many typos have been corrected and the exposition has been improved according to the suggestions of the referees: we thank them a lot!

This work is devoted to study orientation theory in arithmetic geometric within the motivic homotopy theory of Morel and Voevodsky. The main tool is a formulation of the absolute purity property for an \emph{arithmetic cohomology theory}, either represented by a cartesian section of the stable homotopy category or satisfying suitable axioms. We give many examples, formulate conjectures and prove a useful property of analytical invariance. Within this axiomatic, we thoroughly develop the theory of characteristic and fundamental classes, Gysin and residue morphisms. This is used to prove Riemann-Roch formulas, in Grothendieck style for arbitrary natural transformations of cohomologies, and a new one for residue morphisms. They are applied to rational motivic cohomology and \'etale rational $\ell$-adic cohomology, as expected by Grothendieck in \cite[XIV, 6.1]{SGA6}., Comment: 81 pages. Final version, to appear in the Actes of a 2016 conference in the Tata Institute. Thanks a lot goes to the referee for his enormous work (more than 100 comments) which was of great help. Among these corrections, he indicated to me a sign mistake in formula (3.2.14.a) which was very hard to detect

We prove a conjecture of Morel identifying Voevodsky's homotopy invariant sheaves with transfers with spectra in the stable homotopy category which are concentrated in degree zero for the homotopy t-structure and have a trivial action of the Hopf map. This is done by relating these two kind of objects to Rost's cycle modules. Applications to algebraic cobordism and construction of cycle classes are given., Comment: 27 pp

This book discusses the construction of triangulated categories of mixed motives over a noetherian scheme of finite dimension, extending Voevodsky's definition of motives over a field. In particular, it is shown that motives with rational coefficients satisfy the formalism of the six operations of Grothendieck. This is achieved by studying descent properties of motives, as well as by comparing different presentations of these categories, following and extending insights and constructions of Deligne, Beilinson, Bloch, Thomason, Gabber, Levine, Morel, Voevodsky, Ayoub, Spitzweck, R\"ondigs, {\O}stv{\ae}r, and others. In particular, the relation of motives with $K$-theory is addressed in full, and we prove the absolute purity theorem with rational coefficients, using Quillen's localization theorem in algebraic $K$-theory together with a variation on the Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem. Using resolution of singularities via alterations of de Jong-Gabber, this leads to a version of Grothendieck-Verdier duality for constructible motivic sheaves with rational coefficients over rather general base schemes. We also study versions with integral coefficients, constructed via sheaves with transfers, for which we obtain partial results. Finally, we associate to any mixed Weil cohomology a system of categories of coefficients and well behaved realization functors, establishing a correspondence between mixed Weil cohomologies and suitable systems of coefficients. The results of this book have already served as ground reference in many subsequent works on motivic sheaves and their realizations, and pointers to the most recent developments of the theory are given in the introduction., Comment: This is the final version.

The proof of the coincidence of the Gysin morphism in motivic cohomology and the usual pushout on Chow groups has been improved (see Lemma 3.3 and Proposition 3.11)

We define and study Gysin morphisms on mixed motives over a perfect field. Our construction extends the case of closed immersions, already known from results of Voevodsky, to arbitrary projective morphisms. We prove several classical formulas in this context, such as the projection and excess intersection formulas, and some more original ones involving residues. Finally, we give an application of this construction to duality and motive with compact support., Comment: In this new version, the part concerning the coniveau filtration has been withdrawn to be published separately

We define model category structures on the category of chain complexes over a Grothendieck abelian category depending on the choice of a generating family, and we study their behaviour with respect to tensor products and stabilization. This gives convenient tools to construct and understand triangulated categories of motives and we consider here the case of mixed motives over a regular base scheme.

We define, for a regular scheme $S$ and a given field of characteristic zero $\KK$, the notion of $\KK$-linear mixed Weil cohomology on smooth $S$-schemes by a simple set of properties, mainly: Nisnevich descent, homotopy invariance, stability (which means that the cohomology of $\GG_{m}$ behaves correctly), and K\"unneth formula. We prove that any mixed Weil cohomology defined on smooth $S$-schemes induces a symmetric monoidal realization of some suitable triangulated category of motives over $S$ to the derived category of the field $\KK$. This implies a finiteness theorem and a Poincar\'e duality theorem for such a cohomology with respect to smooth and projective $S$-schemes (which can be extended to smooth $S$-schemes when $S$ is the spectrum of a perfect field). This formalism also provides a convenient tool to understand the comparison of such cohomology theories. Our main examples are algebraic de Rham cohomology and rigid cohomology, and the Berthelot-Ogus isomorphism relating them., Comment: update references; hopefully improve the exposition
