Derived invariants and motives, Part II integral derived invariants and some applications

Abstract: In this paper we construct new derived invariants with integral coefficients using the theory of motifs, and give several applications. Specifically, we obtain the following results: For complex algebraic surfaces, we prove that certain torsion in the abelianized fundamental group is a derived invariant. We prove that the collection of Hodge-Witt cohomology groups is a derived invariant. In particular, Hodge-Witt reduction and ordinary reduction are preserved by derived equivalence when the characteristic is sufficiently large. Finally, using the techniques of non-commutative algebraic geometry, we prove that Serre's ordinary density conjecture is true for cubic $4$-folds which contain a $\mathbb{P}<sup>2$.
