The Infinitesimal Structure of Quantum Information

This paper establishes a rigorous, unified geometric framework for quantum state spaces by constructing smooth, regular embeddings into higher-order dual number algebras $\mathcal{Q}_N \equiv \mathbb{R}[\varepsilon]/(\varepsilon^{N^2-1})$, wherein every quantum state is faithfully represented as a non-reduced scheme-theoretic point. We show that under this unified family of truncated rings, the non-linear matrix commutators governing the Liouville-von Neumann dynamics map globally onto flat, linear, and rigid algebraic flows, establishing nilpotent dual algebras as a pristine geometric landscape for higher-dimensional quantum kinematics. As $N \to \infty$, this family converges to a Cauchy-complete power series ring $\mathcal{Q}_\infty$, where non-Archimedean completion linearizes the phase space, aligning the Fubini-Study geometry with the classical Fisher-Rao manifold.

Tensor structure for Nori motives

We construct a tensor product on Freyd's universal abelian category attached to an additive tensor category or a tensor quiver and establish a universal property. This is used to give an alternative construction for the tensor product on Nori motives.

On the derived category of 1-motives

This is the final version of the 2007 preprint titled "On the derived category of 1-motives, I". It has been substantially expanded to contain a motivic proof of (two thirds of) Deligne's conjecture on 1-motives with rational coefficients, hence the new title. Compared to the 2007 preprint, the additions mainly concern an abstract theory of realisations with weight filtrations; Deligne's conjecture is tackled though them by an adjunction game.

Syntactic categories for Nori motives

We give a new construction, based on categorical logic, of Nori's $\mathbb Q$-linear abelian category of mixed motives associated to a cohomology or homology functor with values in finite-dimensional vector spaces over $\mathbb Q$. This new construction makes sense for infinite-dimensional vector spaces as well, so that it associates a $\mathbb Q$-linear abelian category of mixed motives to any (co)homology functor, not only Betti homology (as Nori had done) but also, for instance, $\ell$-adic, $p$-adic or motivic cohomology. We prove that the $\mathbb Q$-linear abelian categories of mixed motives associated to different (co)homology functors are equivalent if and only a family (of logical nature) of explicit properties is shared by these different functors. The problem of the existence of a universal cohomology theory and of the equivalence of the information encoded by the different classical cohomology functors thus reduces to that of checking these explicit conditions.

On the derived category of 1-motives, I

We consider the category of Deligne 1-motives over a perfect field k of exponential characteristic p and its derived category for a suitable exact structure after inverting p. As a first result, we provide a fully faithful embedding into an etale version of Voevodsky's triangulated category of geometric motives. Our second main result is that this full embedding "almost" has a left adjoint, that we call \LAlb. Applied to the motive of a variety we thus get a bounded complex of 1-motives, that we compute fully for smooth varieties and partly for singular varieties. As an application we give motivic proofs of Roitman type theorems (in characteristic 0).

A note on relative duality for Voevodsky motives

Let X be an n-dimensional smooth proper variety over a field admitting resolution of singularities, and Y,Z two disjoint closed subsets of X. We establish an isomorphism M(X-Z,Y) isomorphic to M(X-Y,Z)^*(n)[2n] in Voevodsky's triangulated category of geometric motives. Here, M(X-Z,Y) is the motive of X -Z relative to its closed subset Y.

Deligne's Conjecture on 1-Motives

We reformulate a conjecture of Deligne on 1-motives by using the integral weight filtration of Gillet and Soulé on cohomology, and prove it. This implies the original conjecture up to isogeny. If the degree of cohomology is at most two, we can prove the conjecture for the Hodge realization without isogeny, and even for 1-motives with torsion.

On the Deligne--Beilinson cohomology sheaves

We are showing that the Deligne--Beilinson cohomology sheaves ${\cal H}^{q+1}({\bf Z}(q)_{\cal D})$ are torsion free by assuming Kato's conjectures hold true for function fields. This result is `effective' for $q=2$; in this case, by dealing with `arithmetic properties' of the presheaves of mixed Hodge structures defined by singular cohomology, we are able to give a cohomological characterization of the Albanese kernel for surfaces with $p_g=0$.

${\cal H}$-cohomologies versus algebraic cycles

Global intersection theories for smooth algebraic varieties via products in {\it appropriate}\, Poincaré duality theories are obtained. We assume given a (twisted) cohomology theory $H^*$ having a cup product structure and we let consider the ${\cal H}$-cohomology functor $X\leadsto H^{\#}_{Zar}(X,{\cal H}^*)$ where ${\cal H}^*$ is the Zariski sheaf associated to $H^*$. We show that the ${\cal H}$-cohomology rings generalize the classical ``intersection rings'' obtained via rational or algebraic equivalences. Several basic properties e.g.\, Gysin maps, projection formula and projective bundle decomposition, of ${\cal H}$-cohomology are obtained. We therefore obtain, for $X$ smooth, Chern classes $c_{p,i} : K_i(X) \to H^{p-i}(X,{\cal H}^p)$ from the Quillen $K$-theory to ${\cal H}$-cohomologies according with Gillet and Grothendieck. We finally obtain the ``blow-up formula'' $$H^p(X',{\cal H}^q) \cong H^p(X,{\cal H}^q)\oplus \bigoplus_{i=0}^{c-2} H^{p-1-i}(Z,{\cal H}^{q-1-i})$$ where $X'$ is the blow-up of $X$ smooth, along a closed smooth subset $Z$ of pure codimension $c$. Singular cohomology of associated analityc space, étale cohomology, de Rham and Deligne-Beilinson cohomologies are examples for this setting.
