Abstract

This paper is dedicated to triangulated categories endowed with weight structures (a new notion; D. Pauksztello has independently introduced them as co-t-structures). This axiomatizes the properties of stupid truncations of complexes in . We also construct weight structures for Voevodsky's categories of motives and for various categories of spectra. A weight structure defines Postnikov towers of objects; these towers are canonical and functorial 'up to morphisms that are zero on cohomology'. For being the heart of (in we have ) we define a canonical conservative 'weakly exact' functor from our to a certain weak category of complexes . For any (co)homological functor for an abelian we construct a weight spectral sequence where ; it is canonical and functorial starting from . This spectral sequences specializes to the 'usual' (Deligne's) weight spectral sequences for 'classical' realizations of motives and to Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequences for spectra. Under certain restrictions, we prove that and . The definition of a weight structure is almost dual to those of a t-structure; yet several properties differ. One can often construct a certain -structure which is 'adjacent' to and vice versa. This is the case for the Voevodsky's (one obtains certain new Chow weight and t-structures for it; the heart of the latter is 'dual' to ) and for the stable homotopy category. The Chow t-structure is closely related to unramified cohomology.
