The Grothendieck Ring of Varieties and of the Theory of Algebraically Closed Fields
نویسنده
چکیده
In each characteristic, there is a canonical homomorphism from the Grothendieck ring of varieties to the Grothendieck ring of sets definable in the theory of algebraically closed fields. We prove that this homomorphism is an isomorphism in characteristic zero. In positive characteristics, we exhibit specific elements in the kernel of the corresponding homomorphism of Grothendieck semi rings. The comparison of these two Grothendieck rings in positive characteristics seems to be an open question, related to the difficult problem of cancellativity of the Grothendieck semigroup of varieties.

Conics in the Grothendieck ring
The Grothendieck ring of k-varieties is still very poorly understood. In characteristic zero, the quotient of K0[Vark] by the ideal generated by [A ] is naturally isomorphic to the ring Z[SBk], where Z[SBk] is the free abelian group generated by the stable birational equivalence classes of smooth, projective, irreducible k-varieties and multiplication is given by the product of varieties [Lar-L...
متن کاملMotives for perfect PAC fields with pro-cyclic Galois group
Denef and Loeser defined a map from the Grothendieck ring of sets definable in pseudo-finite fields to the Grothendieck ring of Chow motives, thus enabling to apply any cohomological invariant to these sets. We generalize this to perfect, pseudo algebraically closed fields with pro-cyclic Galois group. In addition, we define some maps between different Grothendieck rings of definable sets which...

We give sufficient cohomological criteria for the classes of given varieties over a field k to be algebraically independent in the Grothendieck ring of varieties over k and construct some examples.
متن کاملGrothendieck Homomorphisms in Algebraically Closed Valued Fields Iii : Fourier Transform
We continue the study of the Hrushovski-Kazhdan integration theory and consider exponential integrals. The Grothendieck ring is enlarged via a tautological additive character and hence can receive such integrals. We then define the Fourier transform in our integration theory and establish some fundamental properties of it. Thereafter a basic theory of distributions (without differential operato...
متن کاملGrothendieck Homomorphisms in Algebraically Closed Valued Fields
We give a presentation of the construction of motivic integration, that is, a homomorphism between Grothendieck semigroups that are associated with a first-order theory of algebraically closed valued fields, in the fundamental work of Hrushovski and Kazhdan [12]. We limit our attention to a simple major subclass of V -minimal theories of the form ACVF S , that is, the theory of algebraically cl...
