Forschungsseminar über Motive-SS 2017

Inverting ρ and the real etale site

Tues., 14-16, WSC-N-U-4.05

Let [-1]:Spec k→ A1-{0} be the map corresponding to the k-point -1, and let ρ:Spec k+→Gm be the extension sending the base point + to the base-point 1∈ Gm(k). If we look at real points, this is the inclusion {1,-1}→ R-{0}, which is a homotopy equivalence. Remarkably, if one inverts the map ρ in the motivic stable homotopy category SH(B) over a reasonable base-scheme B, Tom Bachmann has shown that the resulting category is the homotopy category of presheaves of usual spectra on the "real etale site" of B. We will discuss these results and applications in the motives seminar this semester.
