Arc Stability and Schemic Motivic Integration

Abstract

We present a general, functorial approach to Motivic Integration for separated schemes of finite type in lieu of recent work by Hans Schoutens on the subject. Presented is a change of variables formula and a hierarchy of stability properties which are closely connected to the integrability of Motivic functions for schemes. Most notably, we prove that if a scheme has smooth reduction then it has a natural geometric definition of motivic volume in the Grothendick ring of the formal motivic site.
