We examine the slice spectral sequence for the cohomology of singular schemes with respect to various
motivic
-spectra,
especially the motivic cobordism spectrum. When the base field
admits resolution of
singularities and
is a
scheme of finite type over
,
we show that Voevodsky’s slice filtration leads to a spectral sequence for
whose terms are the motivic cohomology groups of
defined
using the cdh-hypercohomology. As a consequence, we establish an isomorphism
between certain geometric parts of the motivic cobordism and motivic cohomology of
.
A similar spectral sequence for the connective
-theory
leads to a cycle class map from the motivic cohomology to the homotopy invariant
-theory of
. We
show that this cycle class map is injective for a large class of projective schemes. We
also deduce applications to the torsion in the motivic cohomology of singular
schemes.
