On the motive of the stack of vector bundles on a curve
Abstract: Following Grothendieck's vision that many cohomolgical
invariants of of an algebraic
variety should be captured by a common motive, Voevodsky
introduced a triangulated category of mixed motives which partially realises
this idea. After describing this category, I will explain how to
define the motive of certain algebraic stacks in this context. I will
then report on joint work in progress with Victoria Hoskins, in which
we study the motive of the moduli stack of vector bundles on a smooth
projective curve and show that this motive can be described in terms of
the motive of this curve and its symmetric powers.
