Ax-Schanuel with derivatives for mixed period mappings

We prove the Ax-Schanuel property of the derivatives of mixed period mappings. We also prove the jet space reformulation of this result. The proofs use the Ax-Schanuel result for principal bundles with flat connections obtained by Blázquez-Sanz, Casale, Freitag, and Nagloo.

On The Motivic Leray-Hirsch Theorem For Pure Tate Fibre Bundles

We prove a Leray-Hirsch theorem for a smooth proper morphism over a smooth integral base whose generic fibre has a pure Tate motive. We further explore and highlight some key applications of this theorem.
