#### Nilpotence in Motivic Homotopy Theory

###### Tsutomu Okano   [email] (UIUC)

Abstract: This talk will be in two (currently unrelated) parts. First I will construct the stable motivic homotopy category by defining the category of GL spectra which is an analogue of the category of orthogonal spectra from topology. I will mention some nice properties of this category and give examples of motivic GL spectra. In the second part of the talk I will introduce the question of nilpotence in motivic homotopy theory. This seems to be a difficult problem since Nishida nilpotence and the Devinatz-Hopkins-Smith theorems do not carry over immediately. I will talk about some approaches that are being used to shed light on these questions.
