An overview of abelian varieties in homotopy theory

چکیده
Through an investigation of properties of Chern classes, Quillen discovered a connection between stable homotopy theory and 1-dimensional formal group laws [31]. After almost 40 years, the impacts of this connection are still being felt. The stratification of formal group laws in finite characteristic gives rise to the chromatic filtration in stable homotopy theory [32], and has definite calculational consequences. The nilpotence and periodicity phenomena in stable homotopy groups of spheres arise from a deep investigation of this connection [9].

Homology and homotopy in semi-abelian categories
The theory of abelian categories proved very useful, providing an ax-iomatic framework for homology and cohomology of modules over a ring (in particular, abelian groups) [5]. A similar framework has been lacking for non-abelian (co)homology, the subject of which includes the categories of groups and Lie algebras etc. The point of my thesis is that semi-abelian categories (in the sense of Janeli...
متن کاملCohomology operations and algebraic geometry
This manuscript is based on a ten hours series of seminars I delivered in August of 2003 at the Nagoya Institute of Technology as part of the workshop on homotopy theory organized by Norihiko Minami and following the Kinosaki conference in honor of Goro Nishida. One of the most striking applications of homotopy theory in “exotic” contexes is Voevodsky’s proof of the Milnor Conjecture. This conj...
متن کاملRational Points, R-equivalence and Étale Homotopy of Algebraic Varieties
We study a generalisation of the anabelian section conjecture of Grothendieck by substituting the arithmetic fundamental group with a relative version of the étale homotopy type. We show that the map associating homotopy fixed points to rational points factors though R-equivalence for projective varieties defied over fields of characteristic zero. We show that over p-adic fields rational points...
متن کاملHomotopy theory of smooth compactifications of algebraic varieties
In this short note we show that the homotopy category of smooth compactifications of smooth algebraic varieties is equivalent to the homotopy category of smooth varieties over a field of characteristic zero. As an application we show that the functor sending a variety to the p-th step of the Hodge filtration of its complex cohomology is representable in the homotopy category of simplicial presh...
متن کاملOn the Exponent of Triple Tensor Product of p-Groups
The non-abelian tensor product of groups which has its origins in algebraic K-theory as well as inhomotopy theory, was introduced by Brown and Loday in 1987. Group theoretical aspects of non-abelian tensor products have been studied extensively. In particular, some studies focused on the relationship between the exponent of a group and exponent of its tensor square. On the other hand, com...
