Log homotopy types are homotopy types with modulus
Shane Kelly
TL;DR
The work proves that log homotopy types form a full subcategory of homotopy types with modulus, via a canonical localization: $ ext{ olinebreak} ext{ extunderline{M}H}_k[oldsymbol{ m extLambda}^{-1}] \\stackrel{\sim}{\to} \, ext{logH}_k$, with a fully faithful embedding $ ext{ olinebreak} ext{ extunderline{M}H}_k\hookrightarrow \text{logH}_k$. This is achieved by connecting modulus-pair orbit categories $ ext{ extunderline{P}Sm}_k$ to log-schemes $ ext{SmlSm}_k$ through localization along $(\overline{X}, nX^{\infty})\to(\overline{X}, X^{\infty})$ and establishing Nisnevich descent, smooth blowup calculus, and $ ext{CI}$-inversions. The paper also describes a scheme-theoretic portrayal of log homotopy types, extends to a colimit construction $ ext{mH}_k\cong\varinjlim_n\text{ olinebreak} ext{ extunderline{M}H}_k[\text{CI}(n)^{-1}]$, and discusses stable versions and transfer phenomena, including a counterexample showing limits of transfers in this setting. These results illuminate how ramification/pole data can be encoded in motivic-homotopy frameworks and bridge modulus- and log-theoretic approaches.
Abstract
We show that the category of log homotopy types is a full subcategory of a category of homotopy types with modulus.
