What are the possible motivic Galois groups over $\mathbb Q$?

Let $E$ be a motive over $\mathbb Q$. (I should precise, that by a motive I mean here a pure motive over $\mathbb Q$, with coefficients in $\mathbb Q$, that I see here as a conjectural object which ...

Are there known cases of the Mumford–Tate conjecture that do not use Abelian varieties?

(For a formulation of the Mumford–Tate conjecture, see below.) The question As far as I know, all non-trivial known cases of the Mumford–Tate conjecture more or less depend on the Mumford–Tate ...

Which degree does a motivic Galois representation show up in?

Consider a representation $\rho: \operatorname{Gal} (\overline{\mathbb Q} | \mathbb Q ) \to GL_n ( \overline{\mathbb Q}_\ell)$ that is a subrepresentation of $H^i(X, \overline{\mathbb Q}_\ell (j))$ ...

Is there a yoga of effectivity for motives and their realizations?

Inside the 'usual' categories of motives (Chow, Voevodsky ones) there are the categories of effective motives. Similarly, there are effective Hodge structures; they seem to be closely related with ...

Uncountably many non-isomorphic Tate modules

Do there exist uncountably many abelian surfaces with good reduction over $\mathbb{Q}_p$ with pairwise non-isomorphic rational $p$-adic Tate modules? If we took $l$-adic Tate modules there would be ...

Should the etale cohomology of a smooth projective variety (over rationals) be semi-simple; why?

$\DeclareMathOperator{\char}{char}\DeclareMathOperator{\gal}{Gal}$ Let $P$ be a smooth projective variety over a field $K$ (one may certainly assume that $K$ is perfect; the case $K=\mathbb{Q}$ ...

Any counterexamples known for the Generalized Tate conjecture?

One can state the generalized Tate conjecture over arbitrary finitely generated fields; to this end one should just define Galois representation to be effective if the eignevalues of the actions of ...

Functoriality for $\ell$-adic cohomology - a question

This should a be basic enough question, but I’m a little confused. In proving that $H^*(X,\mathbf{Q}_{\ell})$ is functorial (in the sense of Weil cohomology theories: see axiom D2 here) as $X$ ranges ...

Algorithmically recover the $l'$-adic Galois representation from the $l$-adic one (assuming the Tate conjecture)

Let $E$ be a number field. For any finite Galois extension $E\subset F$ there is a continuous homomorphism $\pi_F:\mathrm{Gal}(\overline{E}/E)\to \mathrm{Gal}(F/E)$. Let $X$ be a smooth projective ...

Compatibility of system of $\ell$-adic representations associated to Voevodsky motives

Let $M$ be an object of Voevodsky's category $DM_{gm}(K,\mathbb{Q})$ for a number field $K$. For each prime number $\ell$, there is an $\ell$-adic realization $M_{\ell}$ in the bounded derived ...

What unramified Galois representations come from geometry?

I think we don't know what crystalline representations come from geometry. What about the unramified ones? Specifically let $\phi:\mathrm{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}_p}/\mathbb{Q}_p)\to GL_n(\mathbb{Q}...
