Oriented cohomology and motivic decompositions of relative cellular spaces (Q819798)

A relative cellular space is a smooth projective variety \(X\) that admits a filtration by closed subvarieties such that each of the successive complements is an affine filtration over a certain smooth projective base \(Y_i\). Examples are Grassmann varieties and completely split quadrics, see \textit{N. A. Karpenko}'s paper [St.\ Petersbg.\ Math.\ J.~12, 1--50 (2001; Zbl 1003.14016)]. The authors compute \(A(X)\) in terms of the \(A(Y_i)\), where \(A\) is any oriented cohomology theory in the sense of \textit{I. Panin}'s paper [K-Theory 30, 265--314 (2003; Zbl 1047.19001)], and they derive a decomposition for the \(A\)-motive of \(X\). If \(A\) is (higher) Chow theory, their results specialize to earlier work by Karpenko [loc. cit.] and by the reviewer [Manuscr. Math.~70, 363--372 (1991; Zbl 0735.14001)]. In the general case, the main new tool developed by the authors is push-forward for cohomology with support. More recent examples of oriented cohomology theories are motivic cohomology and algebraic cobordism MGL. Related results can be found in \textit{S. del Bano}'s paper [J.\ Reine Angew.\ Math.~532, 105--132 (2001; Zbl 1044.14005)].
