Grothendieck-Teichmüller conjecture

(1) In "Esquisse d'un programme", Grothendieck conjectures Grothendieck-Teichmüller conjecture: the morphism $$ G_{\mathbb{Q}} \longrightarrow Aut(\widehat{T}) $$ is an isomorphism. Here $...

Number field analog of Artin-Tate $\Rightarrow$ BSD?

What is the difference between the alternating product of the Hasse-Weil $L$-functions of the generic fiber of an arithmetic scheme $X\to\text{Spec}(\mathbf{Z})$ and the zeta function of $X$? (each ...

What is the precise definition of "Hypergeometric motives over $\mathbb{Q}$"?

The question is as in the title, but here is some background: Section 4 of this paper by Beukers, Cohen and Mellit is called "Hypergeometric motive over $\mathbb{Q}$" but no actual (pure) ...

Geometric vs combinatorial motives over Spec Z

Consider the category of reduced schemes of finite type over $\mathbb{Z}$. Take the Grothendieck group of this category, i.e. the free abelian group on isomorphism classes, modulo the usual "syzygy" ...

Searching for hypergeometric motives that split

Motivation: It seems that the splitting of a hypergeometric motive is closely related to some highly non-trivial hypergeometric identities discovered by Ramanujan, Guillera et al. The splitting of ...

Motivic fundamental group of the moduli space of curves?

Suppose I have a smooth projective family of varieties of varieties over $\mathcal M_g$ - i.e. a universal functor, commuting with deformations, from curves to smooth projective varieties. Can I ...

A Generalization of the Tate-Shafarevich/Tate/Fontaine-Mazur Conjectures

Let $A$ be an abelian variety over a number field $k$. The Tate-Shafarevich conjecture says that the Tate-Shafarevich group of $A$ is finite. A weakening of this conjecture states that the $\ell$-...

Quadratic twists of 1-motives

Quadratic twists of elliptic curves (or, more generally, abelian varieties) are familiar objects in arithmetic geometry. I would like to extend that definition to the category of 1-motives over global ...

Motives in tropical geometry

Is there a notion of motives in tropical geometry? Similar like the notion introduced by Grothendieck in algebraic geometry.

Reference request: Tate's conjecture for L functions of motives

What's a good reference for the most general form of Tate's conjecture for the order of poles of the L function of a motive? Thanks!

Generate periods only by smooth varieties

Like explained in this passage that a period is a complex number whose real and imaginary parts are integrations of rational functions over $\mathbb{Q}$ on some $\mathbb{Q}$-semi-algebra set in $\...

holomorphic continuation of motivic $L$-functions

The question is rather easy to formulate: when is the $L$-function of a pure motive over $\mathbb{Q}$ expected to have a holomorphic (as opposed to simply meromorphic) continuation to the complex ...

A question on Nekovar's paper Belinson's Conjectures

In Section 2 of Nevovar's paper "Beilinson's Conjectures", for a pure motive $M$ of the form $h^i(X)(n)$ where $X$ is a projective smooth variety over $\mathbb{Q}$ and $n$ is an integer such that the ...

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 ...
