  Cohomology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cohomology can be viewed as a method of assigning algebraic invariants to a topological space that has a more refined algebraic structure than does homology.
Cohomology arises from the algebraic dualization of the construction of homology.
A cohomology theory is a family of contravariant functors from the category of pairs of topological spaces and continuous functions (or some subcategory thereof such as the category of CW complexes) to the category of Abelian groups and group homomorphisms that satisfies the Eilenberg-Steenrod axioms.

 Motivic cohomology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Motivic cohomology is a homological theory in mathematics, the existence of which was first conjectured by Grothendieck during the 1960s.
Serre, for example, preferred to work more concretely with a system of compatible l-adic representations, which at least conjecturally should be as good as having a motive, but instead listed the data obtainable from a motive by means of its 'realisations' in the etale cohomology theories with l-adic coefficients, as l varied over prime numbers.
In some sense motivic cohomology would be the mother of all cohomology theories in algebraic geometry; the other cohomology theories would be specializations.

 Motivic Cohomology
The collection of all the cohomology groups of a space forms a ring, and the same is true of the K-groups.
Crucial work on motivic cohomolgy was done by Spencer Bloch, who established in certain special cases an analog of the Chern character in the algebraic setting.
A remarkable achievement of Suslin and Voevodsky is that, after making a standard modification of the motivic cohomology and singular cohomology, they were able to prove that the modified motivic cohomology of X and the modified singular cohomology of X(C) are in fact isomorphic.

 Motivic Homotopy Theory Program   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
The motivic homotopy theory is the homotopy theory for algebraic varieties and, more generally, for Grothendieck's schemes which is based on the analogy between the affine line and the unit interval.
Eventually, the motivic homotopy theory is expected to provide techniques which may help to solve problems in algebraic geomerty such as various "standard conjectures on algebraic cycles", Beilinson-Soule vanishing and rigidity conjectures, the Bloch-Kato conjecture etc.
The triangulated categories of motives and the motivic stable homotopy categories are connected by pairs of adjoint functors.

 Lecture Notes on Motivic Cohomology
Its purpose is to introduce Motivic Cohomology, develop its main properties and, finally, to relate it to other known invariants of algebraic varieties and rings such as Milnor K-theory, étale cohomology and Chow groups.
The notion of a motive is an elusive one, like its namesake the "motif" of Cezanne's impressionist method of painting.
We now know that there is a triangulated theory of motives, discovered by Vladimir Voevodsky, which suffices for the development of a satisfactory Motivic Cohomology theory.

 [No title]
After a short introduction with a quotation of Grothendieck on the fascination of motives, the existence and compatibility of several cohomology theories is recalled.
On the other hand, the apparent lack, in general, of compatibility isomorphisms between the various $\ell$-adic cohomology theories (for different values of the primes $\ell)$ is an unsatisfactory fact, and one feels that in many situations, e.g.
In some cases a "motivic foobar" has a more specific meaning, either out of tradition or because it is part of the theory of motives that is known to make sense.

 Weil-etale motivic cohomology, by Thomas H. Geisser   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
As a consequence, we get a long exact sequence relating Weil-etale cohomology to etale cohomology, show that for finite coefficients the cohomology theories agree, and with rational coefficients a Weil-etale cohomology group is the direct sum of two etale cohomology groups.
In the second half of the paper we restrict ourselves to Weil-etale cohomology of the motivic complex.
We show that for smooth projective varieties over finite fields, finite generation of Weil-etale cohomology is equivalent to Weil-etale cohomology being an integral model of l-adic cohomology, and also equivalent to the conjunction of Tate's conjecture and (rational) equality of rational and numerical equivalence.

The development of cohomology theories which behaved in positive characteristic like the classical cohomology used by Lefschetz was a major achievement of the 20th century.
This exploitation of motivic homotopy theory in number theory and algebraic topology was spurred on by the programme, which also played an important role in spreading the developing body of knowledge.

 Motivic cohomology and algebraic cycles a categorical approach, by Marc Levine
For S a field of characteristic zero, or a smooth curve over a field of characteristic zero, the motivic cohomology agrees with Bloch's higher Chow groups; the same is true in characteristic p>0 if one uses Q-coefficients.
In particular, the motivic cohomology agrees rationally with the weight-graded pieces of algebraic K-theory, for S smooth and of dimension at most one over a field.
In addition, each reasonable graded cohomology theory Gamma(*) on the category of smooth, quasi-projective schemes over a fixed base S gives rise to a realization functor Re_Gamma for DM(S); for example, we have the Betti, e'tale and Hodge realizations of DM(S).

The original goal that ultimately led to this volume was the construction of "motivic cohomology theory," whose existence was conjectured by A. Beilinson and S. Lichtenbaum.
The Friedlander-Lawson moving lemma for families of algebraic cycles appears in the third paper in which a bivariant theory called bivariant cycle cohomology is constructed.
The fifth and last paper in the volume gives a proof of the fact that bivariant cycle cohomology groups are canonically isomorphic (in appropriate cases) to Bloch's higher Chow groups, thereby providing a link between the authors' theory and Bloch's original approach to motivic (co-)homology.

 Research
One of the things I study is motivic homotopy theory, which is a blend of homotopy theory and algebraic geometry.
The basic idea is to replace techniques involving cohomology theories for topological spaces with techniques involving algebraic cohomology theories.
One of the motivations is that motivic homotopy theory is a subject that is in need of more computations.

 Citebase - Karoubi's Construction for Motivic Cohomology Operations
We use an analogue of Karoubi's construction in the motivic situation to give some cohomology operations in motivic cohomology.
We prove many properties of these operations, and we show that they coincide, up to some nonzero constants, with the reduced power operations in motivic cohomology originally constructed by Voevodsky.
The relation of our construction to Voevodsky's is, roughly speaking, that of a fixed point set to its associated homotopy fixed point set.
