Motivic Cohomology of Pairs of Simplices

چکیده

Let F be a eld and n> 2 be a positive integer. A simplex in the projective space P F is an ordered set of hyperplanes L 1⁄4 ðL0; . . . ; LnÞ. A face of L is any nonempty intersection of the hyperplanes. A pair of simplices is admissible if they do not have common faces of the same dimension. It is a generic pair if all the faces of the two simplices are in general position. In their seminal paper [2, 4] Beilinson et al. initiated the study of the motivic cohomology of the admissible pairs of simplices ðL;M Þ on PF which is de ned as a graded comodule L2 j1⁄40H motðL;M Þj over a suitable graded algebra AðF Þ ;Q :1⁄4 AðF Þ Q. The cohomology is the arithmetico-algebraic analog of the relative Betti cohomology and is de ned via mysterious complexes formed by the geometric combinatorial data of the pair. The reason for this is that the graded pieces of the cohomology groups can actually be obtained from a spectral sequence converging to H ðPC n L;M n L;QÞ with degenerate E2-term. In this paper we propose a generalization of the above from PF to P n F . Brie:y speaking, the group AnðF Þ is generated by admissible pairs of simplices in P F , subject to a set of relations (see De nition 2.1 for the detail). The de ning (double scissors congruence) relations re:ect (conjecturally all of) the functional equations of Aomoto polylogarithms rst studied in [1]. These groups are expected to form a Hopf algebra and are closely related to algebraic K-theory by the following conjecture [4, p. 550] (after slight reformulation).

A Brief Introduction to Algebraic K-theory

We give a brief survey of higher algebraic K-theory and its connection to motivic cohomology. We start with limits and colimits, and then pass to the combinatorial construction of topological spaces by means of “systems of simplices”, usefully mediated by simplicial sets. Definitions of K-theory are offered, and the main theorems are stated. A definition of motivic cohomology is offered and its...

Cohomology Operations and Inverting the Motivic Bott Element

In this note we explore the relationships between the motivic cohomology operations and the (classical) cohomology operations defined on mod-l étale cohomology. More precisely we show that the cohomology operations on motivic cohomology transform to the (classical) cohomology operations on mod-l étale cohomology upon inverting the motivic Bott element.

Comparison of Motivic and simplicial operations in mod-l-motivic and étale cohomology

In this paper we explore the relationships between the motivic and simplicial cohomology operations defined on mod-l motivic cohomology. We also explore similar relationships in étale cohomology and conclude by considering certain operations that commute with proper push-forwards.

Karoubi’s Construction for Motivic Cohomology Operations

We use an analogue of Karoubi’s construction [4] in the motivic situation to give some cohomology operations in motivic cohomology. We prove many properties of these operations, and we show that they coincide, up to some nonzero constants, with the reduced power operations in motivic cohomology originally constructed by Voevodsky [12]. The relation of our construction to Voevodsky’s is, roughly...
