Abstract: Let $U$ be a smooth scheme over an algebraically closed field $mathbbK$ of characteristic zero and $f:Uo{mathbbA}^1$ a regular function, and write $X=$Crit$(f)$, as a closed subscheme of $U$. The motivic vanishing cycle $M{F}_{U,f}^{p}hi$ is an element of the $hatmu$-equivariant motivic Grothendieck ring ${mathcalM}_X^{hatmu}$ defined by Denef and Loeser math.AG/0006050 and Looijenga math.AG/0006220, and used in Kontsevich and Soibelman's theory of motivic Donaldson-Thomas invariants, arXiv:0811.2435. We prove three main results: (a) $M{F}_{U,f}^{p}hi$ depends only on the third-order thickenings $U^{(3)},f^{(3)}$ of $U,f$. (b) If $V$ is another smooth scheme, $g:Vo{mathbbA}^1$ is regular, $Y=$Crit$(g)$, and $Phi:UoV$ is an embedding with $f=gcircPhi$ and $Phiver{t}_X:XoY$ an isomorphism, then $Phiver{t}_X^{*}(M{F}_{V,g}^{p}hi)$ equals $M{F}_{U,f}^{p}hi$ "twisted" by a motive associated to a principal ${mathbbZ}_2$-bundle defined using $Phi$, where now we work in a quotient ring $$ of ${mathcalM}_X^{hatmu}$. (c) If $(X,s)$ is an "oriented algebraic d-critical locus" in the sense of Joyce arXiv:1304.4508, there is a natural motive $$, such that if $(X,s)$ is locally modelled on Crit$(f:Uo{mathbbA}^1)$, then $M{F}_{X,s}$ is locally modelled on $M{F}_{U,f}^{p}hi$. Using results from arXiv:1305.6302, these imply the existence of natural motives on moduli schemes of coherent sheaves on a Calabi-Yau 3-fold equipped with "orientation data", as required in Kontsevich and Soibelman's motivic Donaldson-Thomas theory arXiv:0811.2435, and on intersections of oriented Lagrangians in an algebraic symplectic manifold. This paper is an analogue for motives of results on perverse sheaves of vanishing cycles proved in arXiv:1211.3259. We extend this paper to Artin stacks in arXiv:1312.0090.
