This article computes some motivic stable homotopy groups over R. For 0 <= p - q <= 3, we describe the motivic stable homotopy groups of a completion of the motivic sphere spectrum. These are the first four Milnor-Witt stems. We start with the known
Ext groups over C and apply the rho-Bockstein spectral sequence to obtain Ext groups over R. This is the input to an Adams spectral sequence, which collapses in our low dimensional range.
Using Dold--Puppe category approach to the duality in topology, we prove general duality theorem for the category of motives. As one of the applications of this general result we obtain, in particular, a generalization of Friedlander--Voevodskys dual
ity to the case of arbitrary base field characteristic.
The rings of $p$-typical Witt vectors are interpreted as spaces of vanishing cycles for some perverse sheaves over a disc. This allows to localize an isomorphism emerging in Drinfelds theory of prismatization [Dr], Prop. 3.5.1, namely to express it a
s an integral of a standard exact triangle on the disc.
We prove that the $infty$-category of motivic spectra satisfies Milnor excision: if $Ato B$ is a morphism of commutative rings sending an ideal $Isubset A$ isomorphically onto an ideal of $B$, then a motivic spectrum over $A$ is equivalent to a pair
of motivic spectra over $B$ and $A/I$ that are identified over $B/IB$. Consequently, any cohomology theory represented by a motivic spectrum satisfies Milnor excision. We also prove Milnor excision for Ayoubs etale motives over schemes of finite virtual cohomological dimension.
