This thesis consists of three articles treating topics in the theory of algebraic stacks. The first two papers deal with motivic invariants. In the first, we show that the class of the classifying stack BPGLn is the inverse of the class of PGLn in the Grothendieck ring of stacks for n ≤ 3. This shows that the multiplicativity relation holds for the universal torsors, although it is known not to hold for torsors ingeneral for the groups PGL2 and PGL3. In the second paper, we introduce an exponential function which can be viewed as a generalisation of Kapranov's motivic zeta function. We use this to derive a binomial theorem for a power operation defined on the Grothendieck ring of varieties. As an application, we give an explicit expression for the motivic class of a universal quasi-split torus, which generalises a result by Rökaeus. The last paper treats destackification. We give an algorithm for removing stackiness from smooth, tame stacks with abelian stabilisers by repeatedly applying stacky blow-ups. As applications, we indicate how the result can be used for destackifying general Deligne–Mumford stacks in characteristic zero, and to obtain a weak factorisation theorem for such stacks. / <p>At the time of the doctoral defense, the following papers were unpublished and had a status as follows: Paper 1: Manuscript.

We consider right modules over a ring, as models of a first order theory. We explorethe definable sets and the definable bijections between them. We employ the notionsof Euler characteristic and Grothendieck ring for a first order structure, introduced byJ. Krajicek and T. Scanlon in [24]. The Grothendieck ring is an algebraic structurethat captures certain properties of a model and its category of definable sets.If M is a module over a product of rings A and B, then M has a decomposition into a direct sum of an A-module and a B-module. Theorem 3.5.1 states that then the Grothendieck ring of M is the tensor product of the Grothendieck rings of the summands.Theorem 4.3.1 states that the Grothendieck ring of every infinite module over afield or skew field is isomorphic to Z[X].Proposition 5.2.4 states that for an elementary extension of models of anytheory, the elementary embedding induces an embedding of the corresponding Grothendieck rings. Theorem 5.3.1 is that for an elementary embedding of modules, we have the stronger result that the embedding induces an isomorphism of Grothendieck rings.We define a model-theoretic Grothendieck ring of the category Mod-R and explorethe relationship between this ring and the Grothendieck rings of general right R-modules. The category of pp-imaginaries, shown by K. Burke in [7] to be equivalentto the subcategory of finitely presented functors in (mod-R; Ab), provides a functorial approach to studying the generators of theGrothendieck rings of R-modules. It is shown in Theorem 6.3.5 that whenever R andS are Morita equivalent rings, the rings Grothendieck rings of the module categories Mod-R and Mod-S are isomorphic.Combining results from previous chapters, we derive Theorem 7.2.1 saying that theGrothendieck ring of any module over a semisimple ring is isomorphic to a polynomialring Z[X1,...,Xn] for some n.

L’objectif de cette thèse est l’étude de la fonction zêta des hauteurs motivique associée à un problème de comptage de courbes sur les compactifications équivariantes d’espaces affines, résolvant au chapitre 6 l’analogue motivique de la conjecture de Manin pour celles-ci. La fonction zêta des hauteurs provenant du problème de comptage considéré est récrite convenablement à l’aide d'une formule de Poisson motivique démontrée au cinquième chapitre, qui généralise celle de Hrushovski-Kazhdan. Chaque terme est alors décomposé sous la forme d'un produit eulérien motivique, dont la définition et les propriétés sont établies au chapitre 3. La convergence de ces produits eulériens doit être comprise pour une topologie des poids que nous introduisons au quatrième chapitre et qui repose d'une part sur la théorie des modules de Hodge de Saito, et d'autre part sur une mesure motivique sur l’anneau de Grothendieck des variétés avec exponentielles, construite dans le chapitre 2 à l’aide de la notion de cycles évanescents motiviques. On en déduit ainsi une description de l'asymptotique d'une proportion positive des coefficients du polynôme de Hodge-Deligne des espaces de modules des courbes sur la compactification équivariante donnée, lorsque le degré tend vers l'infini. / The goal of this thesis is the study of the motivic height zeta function associated to the problem of counting curves on equivariant compactifications of vector groups, solving in chapter 6 the motivic analogue of Manin's conjecture for such varieties.The motivic height zeta function coming from this counting problem is rewritten in a convenient way using a Poisson summation formula proved in chapter 5, and which generalises Hrushovski and Kazhdan's motivic Poisson formula. Each term is then expressed as a motivic Euler product, the definition and properties of the latter being established in chapter 3. The convergence of these Euler products must be understood for a weight topology which we introduce in the fourth chapter and which relies both on Saito's theory of mixed Hodge modules and on a motivic measure on the Grothendieck ring of varieties with exponentials, constructed in chapter 2 using the notion of motivic vanishing cycles. We deduce from this a description of the asymptotic of a positive proportion of the coefficients of the Hodge-Deligne polynomial of the moduli spaces of curves on the given equivariant compactification, when the degree goes to infinity.

Cette thèse est constituée de deux parties complètement indépendantes.Dans une première partie, nous montrons que la paire de Fourier-Mukai (X,Y) issue de la correspondance double miroir Pfaffienne-Grassmannienne vérifie l'identité ([X]-[Y])L^6=0 dans l'anneau de Grothendieck, où L est la classe de la droite affine. Ce résultat est un raffinement d'un théorème de Borisov par la suppression d'un facteur, qui montre que la classe de la droite affine est un diviseur de zéro dans l'anneau de Grothendieck, et fournit par ailleurs un premier exemple intéressant de variétés D-équivalentes qui sont L-équivalentes. D'autres exemples ont par la suite été explicités par d'autres auteurs.Dans une seconde partie, nous nous intéressons au comportement d'invariants de théorie de Hodge par convolution intermédiaire, à la suite des travaux de Dettweiler et Sabbah. Le principal résultat concerne le comportement des données numériques locales de Hodge cycles proches à l'infini par convolution intermédiaire additive par un module de Kummer. Nous donnons également des formules pour les invariants locaux h^p et globaux delta^p sans faire l'hypothèse de monodromie scalaire à l'infini. De plus, à l'aide d'une relation de Katz reliant les convolutions additives et multiplicatives, nous explicitons le comportement des invariants de Hodge par convolution intermédiaire multiplicative. Enfin, le théorème principal permet de redémontrer un résultat de Fedorov sur les invariants de Hodge d'équations hypergéométriques. / This thesis consists of two independent parts.In a first part, we show that the Fourier-Mukai pair (X,Y) constructed from Pfaffian-Grassmannian double-mirror correspondence verifies the formula ([X]-[Y]) L^6=0 in the Grothendieck ring, where L is the class of affine line. This result is an improvement of a theorem of Borisov by removing a factor, which shows that the class of affine line is a zero divisor in the Grothendieck ring, and gives moreover a first interesting example of D-equivalent varieties which are L-equivalent. Other examples have later been made explicit by other authors.In a second part, we are interested in the behaviour of invariants in Hodge theory by middle convolution, following research of Dettweiler and Sabbah. The main result concerns the behaviour of the nearby cycle local Hodge numerical data in infinity by middle additive convolution by a Kummer module. We also give expressions for local invariant h^p and global delta^p without making the hypothesis of scalar monodromy in infinity. Besides, with a relation due to Katz linking up additive and multiplicative convolutions, we explain the behaviour of Hodge invariants by middle multiplicative convolution. Finally, the main theorem gives a new proof of a result of Fedorov on Hodge invariants of hypergeometric equations.
