Motivic Cohomology in 2022
Motivic cohomology, originated from Deligne, Beilinson and Lichtenbaum and developed by Voevodsky, is a kind of cohomology theory on schemes. It admits comparison with étale cohomology of powers of roots of unity (Beilinson-Lichtenbaum), together with higher Chow groups, and relates to K-theory by Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence. In this lecture, we establish the category of motives in which the motivic cohomologies are realized. We explain its relationship with Milnor K-theory and Chow group. Furthermore, we introduce devices like MV-sequence, Gysin triangle, projective bundle formula and duality.
