Summary of the research statement of Mikhail V. Bondarko Recently I proved: the weight complex functor of Gillet and Soule factors through Voevodsky motives. ... I will study eective Voevodsky motives in terms of certain Chow-weight homology obtained by applying the Chow functors (of cycles of a xed dimension modulo rational equivalence) to the terms of weight complexes. ... Dually, the Chow-weight cohomology measures a certain "dimension" of motives. ...
