Tate motives on Witt vector affine flag varieties

Relying on recent advances in the theory of motives we develop a general formalism for derived categories of motives with $${\mathbf{Q}}$$ Q -coefficients on perfect $$\infty $$ ∞ -prestacks. We construct Grothendieck’s six functors for motives over perfect (ind-)schemes perfectly of finite presentation. Following ideas of Soergel–Wendt, this is used to study basic properties of stratified Tate motives on Witt vector partial affine flag varieties. As an application we give a motivic refinement of Zhu’s geometric Satake equivalence for Witt vector affine Grassmannians in this set-up.

On an Enriques Surface Associated With a Quartic Hessian Surface

Let $Y$ be a complex Enriques surface whose universal cover $X$ is birational to a general quartic Hessian surface. Using the result on the automorphism group of $X$ due to Dolgachev and Keum, we obtain a finite presentation of the automorphism group of $Y$. The list of elliptic fibrations on $Y$ and the list of combinations of rational double points that can appear on a surface birational to $Y$ are presented. As an application, a set of generators of the automorphism group of the generic Enriques surface is calculated explicitly.

A finite presentation of Jordan algebras

Let [Formula: see text] be an associative algebra. Let [Formula: see text] be an involution. We study the following question: when are the Jordan algebras [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] finitely presented?
