Mar 11, 2010 at 11:24 comment added Yemon Choi Seconding Theo's comment. A more focused question would be helpful - part of being or becoming a good student is to work out more precisely why/where one is stuck. (I speak as someone who is rather slow at doing this, but it does need to be done.)
Mar 10, 2010 at 6:33 comment added S. Carnahan Have you read Deligne's series, Theorie de Hodge?
Mar 9, 2010 at 20:14 comment added Hunter Brooks I like Schappacher's book Periods of Hecke Characters. It's also available for cheap.
Mar 9, 2010 at 19:09 comment added Theo Johnson-Freyd -1, because I just don't like questions like this. I guess a "correct answer" would be like Emerton's comment: a more accessible prequel. But what OP is really asking is for someone to explain that paper here. Asking about individual remarks in the paper seems like a good idea, because it advances the community. But "this paper is hard" isn't much of a question, and is better suited as an impetus to set up a student seminar on the topic than to start a discussion here. In any case, the actual answer is: "read papers you like, and come back to this one later."
Mar 9, 2010 at 18:45 comment added Emerton There is a paper of Gross on the Chowla--Selberg formula (from the early 80s, I think) which may have served as partial inspiration for Deligne. It is more accessible, I would guess. Also, have you looked in the Motives volumes? I don't remember if there is anything expository about absolute Hodge cycles there, but you could look.
