Autumn school: computations in motivic homotopy theory

An autumn school on computations in motivic homotopy theory will be held at the University of Regensburg during September 16--20, 2019.

Lecture Series:

  • Motivic infinite loop spaces by Marc Hoyois

I will give an overview of the theory of framed correspondences in motivic homotopy theory. Motivic spaces with framed transfers are the analogue in motivic homotopy theory of E_∞-spaces in classical homotopy theory, and in particular they provide an algebraic description of infinite P^1-loop spaces. I will discuss the foundations of the theory (following Voevodsky, Garkusha, Panin, Ananyevskiy, and Neshitov), some applications such as the computations of the infinite loop spaces of the motivic sphere and of algebraic cobordism (following Elmanto, Hoyois, Khan, Sosnilo, and Yakerson), and some open problems.

  • Stable homotopy groups of motivic spheres by Oliver Röndigs & Markus Spitzweck

This lecture series will illustrate some techniques which are useful in computing within the Morel-Voevodsky motivic stable homotopy category SH(F) of a field F. In particular, several filtrations on SH(F) and their associated spectral sequences will be employed and analyzed. This information will be used to describe some stable homotopy groups of motivic spheres.

  • A^1-enumerative geometry by Kirsten Wickelgren

Classical enumerative geometry counts or describes the number of geometric objects satisfying certain conditions. In order to have an invariant count, one works over algebraically closed fields, e.g., a degree n polynomial has n solutions. A^1 homotopy theory provides an opportunity to count geometric objects over general fields. The counts are valued in the Grothendieck--Witt group of symmetric bilinear forms, as this is the target of Morel's A^1-Brouwer degree. In this lecture series, we will introduce A^1-enumerative geometry and discuss several examples. The main example is an enriched count of the degree d plane curves passing through 3d-1 points. This series will include work of Jesse Kass, Marc Levine, Jake Solomon, Padma Srinivasan, Matthias Wendt and the lecturer.
