Integral decomposition of the diagonal (Chow motives)
Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero and let $X$ be a smooth proper varity over $k$ of dimension $d$. The Künneth standard conjecture conjectures that there exist projectors $e_0, e_1, \ldots, ...

Langlands in dimension 2: the Yoshida conjecture
Background:
One prominent part of the Langlands program is the conjecture that
all motives are automorphic.
It is of interest to consider special cases that are more precise, if less
sweeping. ...

Rankin-Selberg convolutions of motivic L-series
Background:
Let $M_{f_i}, i=1,2$ be two modular motives associated to cusp forms
$f_i \in S_{w_i}(\Gamma_0(N_i))$ of weight $w_i$ and level $N_i$ respectively.
The Rankin-Selberg convolution ...

What is the proper initiation to the theory of motives for a new student of algebraic geometry?
A preliminary apology is in order: I realize that most of my contributions to this site are in the form of reference requests. I understand that this makes it seem as though I do nothing more than sit ...

Understanding the definition of the Lefschetz (pure effective) motive
For all those who are unlikely to have answers to my questions, I provide some
Background:
In some sense, pure motives are generalisations of smooth projective varieties. Every Weil cohomology ...

Deligne's proof of Ramanujan's conjecture
I am trying to understand Deligne's proof of the Ramanujan conjecture and more generally how one associates geometric objects (ultimately, motives) to modular forms.
As the first step, which I ...

Why does one invert $G_m$ in the construction of the motivic stable homotopy category?
Morel and Voevodsky construct the motivic stable homotopy category, a category through which all cohomology theories factor and where they are representable, by starting with a category of schemes, ...

Is the scalar extension functor for Chow motives conservative?
Denote $CHM(F)$ to be the category of Chow motives over a field $F$.
Let's consider an algebraic exension $E/F$, then
there is a natural extension of scalars functor $CHM(F) \to CHM(E)$.
I was ...
