# Reference for Nori motives

I would like to study Nori motives and I am a complete outsider of the subject. I do, however, have background on Chow motives, Voevodsky motives $\mathrm{DM}$ and his stable homotopy category $\mathrm{SH}$.

My question is:

Do you know an introductory reference and the main papers about Nori motives?

Thank you very much

Probably the best introduction has alredy been mentioned by Donu Arapura, and it is avaible online:

Section 1 ("Essentials of Nori Motives") of this paper might also be useful:

Also, there's some interestingunpublished notes on motives by Nori himself:

Thanks a lot, Myshkin – Tintin Mar 10 at 16:47
there is a recent new construction due to Joyal-Cartier; see indico.math.cnrs.fr/event/1262 – guest May 25 at 1:38

There are brief outlines in various places, such as an article by Marc Levine on motives in the K-theory handbook. However, the most complete reference is the manuscript "Periods and Nori motives" by Annette Huber and Stefan Müller-Stach. I expect that it will be published in the near future. In the meantime, I suspect a copy may be available from one of their web pages, or perhaps you need to ask them.
