Integrals of logarithmic forms on semi-algebraic sets and a generalized Cauchy formula Part II: generalized Cauchy formula

TL;DR
The paper develops a rigorous framework for integrating logarithmic forms on semi-algebraic, face-stable chains and proves a generalized Cauchy formula that relates boundary integrals to face-contribution corrections. It then leverages this framework to construct a Hodge realization functor for mixed Tate motives by combining the cycle algebra $N$, the admissible chain complex $AC^\bullet$, and bar constructions, yielding an ind-mixed Tate Hodge structure $\mathcal{H}_{Hg}$ and a comparison map between Betti and de Rham realizations. The approach provides an explicit, integral-geometry perspective on periods of motives and aligns with Bloch–Kriz’s program, including a detailed treatment of the dilogarithm. Collectively, these results connect geometric semi-algebraic chains to motivic realizations, suggesting a concrete pathway to compare with existing motivic realizations and to access period computations via logarithmic differential forms. The work advances the understanding of Hodge realizations for mixed Tate motives through an explicit, computable integral formalism that incorporates Thom theory and cubical/differential structures.
Abstract
This paper is the continuation of the paper arXiv:1509.06950, which is Part I under the same title. In this paper, we prove a generalized Cauchy formula for the integrals of logarithmic forms on products of projective lines, and give an application to the construction of Hodge realization of mixed Tate motives.
