Chow motives versus noncommutative motives (Q380276): Difference between revisions

Let \(\text{Chow}_{\mathbb{Q}}(k)= \text{Chow}_{\mathbb{Q}}\) be the \(\mathbb{Q}\)-linear, additive and symmetric monoidal category of Chow motives over a field \(k\) and let \(M: \text{SmProj}^{\text{op}}/k\to\text{Chow}_{\mathbb{Q}}\) be the contravariant functor, that associates to every smooth projective variety \(X\) its Chow motive \(M(X)\). Let \(\mathbb{Q}(1)\in\text{Chow}_{\mathbb{Q}}\) be the Tate motive. The functor \(F= (-)\otimes\mathbb{Q}(1)\) is an automorphism of the category \(\text{Chow}_{\mathbb{Q}}\). The orbit category \({\mathcal C}= \text{Chow}_{\mathbb{Q}}/F\) has the same objects of \(\text{Chow}_{\mathbb{Q}}\) and morphisms \[ \Hom_{{\mathcal C}}(M(X), M(Y))= \bigoplus_{j\in\mathbb{Z}} \Hom_{\text{Chow}_{\mathbb{Q}}}(M(X), M(Y)\otimes\mathbb{Q}(j)). \] Let Mot be the triangulated category of non-commutative motives over \(k\). Kontsevich's category KMM identifies with a thick triangulated category of Mot. The category \(KMM_{\mathbb{Q}}\) has a canonical \(\otimes\)-structure. By taking idempotent completion one gets a natural inclusion \(KMM^{\text{id}}_{\mathbb{Q}}\subset \text{Mot}^{\text{id}}_{\mathbb{Q}}\). In this paper the author following ideas of {Konsevitch} in [Mixed non-commutative motives. University of Miami (2010)], shows that there is a fully faithful, \(\mathbb{Q}\)-linear, additive and symmetric monoidal functor \(R: \text{Chow}_{\mathbb{Q}}\to KMM^{\text{id}}_{\mathbb{Q}}\) and proves a relationship between the finiteness conditons in \(\text{Chow}_{\mathbb{Q}}\) and in the non-commutative category. More precisely, if \(M(X)\) is Schur finite, resp. Kimura finite, in \(\text{Chow}_{\mathbb{Q}}\), then \(NC(X)\) has the same property in \(KMM^{\text{id}}_{\mathbb{Q}}\), where \(N\) is the functor \(\text{SmProj}^{\text{op}}\to KMM^{\text{id}}_{\mathbb{Q}}\). The converse holds for Schur finiteness. The author also proves that certain motivic zeta functions admit an intrinsic construction inside the category of non-commutative motives.
