The spectrum of Artin motives
[ Abstract ]
In this joint work with Martin Gallauer, we investigate the tensor-triangular geometry of the category of Artin motives with coefficients of positive characteristic. This problem relates to modular representation theory of profinite groups and to the category of permutation modules. We shall explain some of the techniques that come into play in the study of the latter.
