NOVEMBER 1990, VOLUME 37, NUMBER 9 1205 From the Executive Director ... ELECTRONIC INFORMATION AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY One of the central activities of the Society is facilitating the exchange of mathematical information. Traditionally, this has taken place through meet­ ings and publications. Today, however, the advent of computer technology is redefining the Society's role in facilitating information exchange. EDITORIAL COMMITTEE This is a challenging, exciting, and costly effort; and not everyone agrees on Robert J. Blattner (Forum Editor) Michael G. Crandall exactly what is challenging, what is exciting, or who ought to pay the cost. For Robert M. Fossum (Chairman) example, it is very easy to imagine an electronic information system where Lucy J. Garnett, D. J. Lewis all one must do to accomplish "perfect" results is A, B, and C. But typically Nancy K. Stanton one finds that A is very time consuming, B is prohibitively expensive, and C Robert E. L. Turner (Letters Editor) cannot be done. MANAGING EDITOR Donovan H. VanOsdol Many in our community are not excited by electronic media. Indeed, it can be ASSOCIATE EDITORS quite frustrating to grope with the intricacies of operating system commands, Ronald L.

    Motives: an Introductory Survey for Physicists

    MOTIVES: AN INTRODUCTORY SURVEY FOR PHYSICISTS ABHIJNAN REJ (WITH AN APPENDIX BY MATILDE MARCOLLI) Abstract. We survey certain accessible aspects of Grothendieck's theory of motives in arith- metic algebraic geometry for mathematical physicists, focussing on areas that have recently found applications in quantum field theory. An appendix (by Matilde Marcolli) sketches further connections between motivic theory and theoretical physics. post hoc, ergo ante hoc { Umberto Eco, Interpretation and overinterpretation Contents 1.

Appendix: Motivic ideas in physics (by M.Marcolli) 24 References 29 1. Introduction This survey paper is based on lectures given by the author at Boston University, the Max Planck Institute in Bonn, at Durham university and at the Indian Statistical Institute and the SN Bose National Center for the Basic Sciences in Kolkata and the Indian Institute of Technology in Mumbai. The purpose of these introductory notes are to familiarize an audience of physicists with some of the algebraic and algebro-geometric background upon which Grothendieck's theory of motives of algebraic varieties relies. There have been many recent developments in the interactions between high energy physics and motives, mostly within the framework of perturbative quantum field theory and the evaluation of Feynman diagrams as periods of algebraic varieties, though motives are beginning to play an important role in other branched of theoretical physics, such as string theory, especially through the recent interactions with the Langlands program, and through the theory of BPS states.
