We prove a trace formula in stable motivic homotopy theory over a general base scheme, equating the trace of an endomorphism of a smooth proper scheme with the Euler characteristic integral of a certain cohomotopy class over its scheme of fixed points. When the base is a field and the fixed points are etale, we compute this integral in terms of Morels identification of the ring of endomorphisms of the motivic sphere spectrum with the Grothendieck-Witt ring. In particular, we show that the Euler characteristic of an etale algebra corresponds to the class of its trace form in the Grothendieck-Witt ring.
We study the 0-th stable A^1-homotopy sheaf of a smooth proper variety over a field k assumed to be infinite, perfect and to have characteristic unequal to 2. We provide an explicit description of this sheaf in terms of the theory of (twisted) Chow-Witt groups as defined by Barge-Morel and developed by Fasel. We study the notion of rational point up to stable A^1-homotopy, defined in terms of the stable A^1-homotopy sheaf of groups mentioned above. We show that, for a smooth proper k-variety X, existence of a rational point up to stable A^1-homotopy is equivalent to existence of a 0-cycle of degree 1.
We establish a Grothendieck--Lefschetz theorem for smooth ample subvarieties of smooth projective varieties over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and, more generally, for smooth subvarieties whose complement has small cohomological dimension. A weaker statement is also proved in a more general context and in all characteristics. Several applications are included.
We announce recent results on a connection between factorization statistics of polynomials over a finite field and the structure of the cohomology of configurations in $mathbb{R}^3$ as a representation of the symmetric group. This connection parallels a result of Church, Ellenberg, and Farb relating factorization statistics of squarefree polynomials and the cohomology of configurations in $mathbb{R}^2$.
Let Sigma denote the prismatization of Spf (Z_p). The multiplicative group over Sigma maps to the prismatization of the multiplicative group over Spf (Z_p). We prove that the kernel of this map is the Cartier dual of some 1-dimensional formal group over Sigma. We obtain some results about this formal group (e.g., we describe its Lie algebra). We give a very explicit description of the pullback of the formal group to the quotient of the q-de Rham prism by the action of the multiplicative group of Z_p.
In this short paper we outline (mostly without proofs) our new approach to the derived category of sheaves of commutative DG rings. The proofs will appear in a subsequent paper. Among other things, we explain how to form the derived intersection of two closed subschemes inside a given algebraic scheme X, without recourse to simplicial or higher homotopical methods, and without any global assumptions on X.
