Homotopy theory of smooth compactifications of algebraic varieties

چکیده
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 presheaves on smooth complex varieties. The main motivation are recent applications of homotopy theory to Deligne–Beilinson cohomology theories.

Smooth varieties up to A -homotopy and algebraic h-cobordisms
We start to study the problem of classifying smooth proper varieties over a field k from the standpoint of A-homotopy theory. Motivated by the topological theory of surgery, we discuss the problem of classifying up to isomorphism all smooth proper varieties having a specified A-homotopy type. Arithmetic considerations involving the sheaf of A-connected components lead us to introduce several di...
متن کاملHodge Filtered Complex Bordism
We construct Hodge filtered cohomology groups for complex manifolds that combine the topological information of generalized cohomology theories with geometric data of Hodge filtered holomorphic forms. This theory provides a natural generalization of Deligne cohomology. For smooth complex algebraic varieties, we show that the theory satisfies a projective bundle formula and A1-homotopy invarianc...
متن کاملSemi-topological K-theory Using Function Complexes
Abstract. The semi-topological K-theory K ∗ (X) of a quasi-projective complex algebraic variety X is based on the notion of algebraic vector bundles modulo algebraic equivalence. This theory is given as the homotopy groups of an infinite loop space K(X) which is equipped with maps K(X) → K(X), K(X) → Ktop(Xan) whose composition is the natural map from the algebraic K-theory of X to the topologi...
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 کاملCompactifications of Moduli Spaces Inspired by Mirror Symmetry
The study of moduli spaces by means of the period mapping has found its greatest success for moduli spaces of varieties with trivial canonical bundle, or more generally, varieties with Kodaira dimension zero. Now these moduli spaces play a pivotal rôle in the classification theory of algebraic varieties, since varieties with nonnegative Kodaira dimension which are not of general type admit bira...
