Abstract

In this article we endow Kontsevich’s triangulated category $KMM_k$ of noncommutative mixed motives with a non-degenerate weight structure in the sense of Bondarko. As an application we obtain: (1) a convergent weight spectral sequence for every additive invariant (e.g., algebraic $K$-theory, cyclic homology, topological Hochschild homology, etc.); (2) a ring isomorphism between $K_0(KMM_k)$ and the Grothendieck ring of the category of noncommutative Chow motives; (3) a precise relationship between Voevodsky’s (virtual) mixed motives and Kontsevich’s noncommutative (virtual) mixed motives.
