Transfers, and Motivic Homology Theories 
by Vladimir Voevodsky, Andrei Suslin, and Eric M. Friedlander,  
Annals of Mathematics Studies, No. 143,
Princeton University Press, NJ, 254 pages, 
ISBN 0-691-04815-0

When thinking about this book, three questions come to mind: 
What are motives? What is motivic cohomology? 
How does this book fit into these frameworks?

Let me begin with a very brief answer to these questions. 
The theory of motives is a branch of algebraic geometry 
dealing with algebraic varieties over a fixed field,
k. The basic idea is simple:  
enlarge the category of varieties into
one which is abelian, meaning that it  
resembles the category of abelian groups: 
we should be able to add morphisms, take  
kernels and cokernels of maps, etc. The
objects in this enlarged category are to be  
called motives, whence the notion of the
motive associated to an algebraic variety.  
Any reasonable cohomology theory on  
varieties should factor through this category of motives. 
Even better, the abelian nature of motives 
allows us to do homological algebra. 
In particular, we can use extension groups 
to form a universal cohomology 
theory for varieties. Not only does this  
motivate our interest in motives, but the
universal property also gives rise to the  
play on words "motivic cohomology".
Different ways of thinking about varieties  
leads to different classes of motives
and different aspects of the theory. And  
each aspect of the theory quickly leads us
into conjectural territory.
The best understood part of the theory is  
the abelian category of pure motives.
This is what we get by restricting our  
attention to smooth projective varieties,
identifying numerically equivalent maps and  
taking coefficients in the rational numbers
Q. The pure motives of smooth projective  
varieties are the analogues of semisimple
modules over a finite-dimensional Q-algebra.  
The theory of pure motives is related
to many deep unsolved problems in algebraic  
geometry, via what are known as the
standard conjectures.






At the other extreme, we have the most  
general part of the theory of motives,
obtained by considering all varieties and  
taking coefficients in the integers Z...

    Physics' Greatest Puzzles 'Millennium Madness'

    Dr. David Gross, a theoretical physicist at UCSB

    #1. Are all the (measurable) dimensionless parameters that characterize the

    physical Universe, calculable in principle, or are some merely determined by

    historical or quantum mechanical accident and uncalculable?

    #2. How can quantum gravity help explain the origin of the Universe?

    #3. What is the lifetime of the proton and how do we understand it?

    #4. Is Nature supersymmetric, and if so, how is supersymmetry broken?

    #5. Why does the Universe appear to have one time and three space dimensions?

    #6. Why does the cosmological constant have the value that it has?

    Is it zero and is it really constant?

    #7. What are the fundamental degrees of freedom of M Theory (the theory whose

    low-energy limit is eleven-dimensional supergravity and that subsumes the

    five consistent superstring theories) and does the theory describe nature?

    #8. What is the resolution of the black hole information paradox?

    #9. What physics explains the enormous disparity between the gravitational scale

    and the typical mass scale of the elementary particles?

    #10. Can we quantitatively understand quark and gluon confinement in quantum

    chromodynamics and the existence of a mass gap?
