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 are "fractional motives"?

Kirti Joshi's musings mention "fractional motives". Do you know what are they good for and what the current state of constructions is for them? Edit: Further cases of "fractional motives" as ...

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 ...

Would full resolution of singularities have cohomological implications beyond the alteration theory?

De Jong's result on alterations allows one to show the potential semistability of certain Galois representations arising from cohomology of varieties (among other things). If we knew the existence of ...

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 $\ell$-...

Can the failure of the multiplicativity of archimedean L-factors be corrected?

My question is parallel to J. Borger' question: Can the failure of the multiplicativity of Euler factors at bad primes be corrected? As emphasized by Scholbach in his paper on special values of L-...

Corresponding notion of unramified for motives (or de Rham cohomology)

The etale cohomolgoy of a variety $X$ over a number field $K$ is a Galois representation of $\mathrm{Gal}(\overline K/K)$ with some properties coming from $X$, e.g., it is unramified outside $S$ if $X$...

In what sense do the real and complex places correspond to setting q equal to 1 or -1?

It often happens that if we have a scheme $X/\mathbb Z$ (or an open subset thereof) and we denote by $p(q) = X(\mathbb F_q)$, then $p(1)$ and $p(-1)$ compute the euler characteristic of $X(\mathbb C)$ ...

Motivic $L$-functions came from automorphic representations

Langlands in his 1978 ICM talk made a conjecture that all motivic $L$-functions should arise as automorphic $L$-functions. A part of this conjecture, namely for some Hasse-Weil $\zeta$ functions is a ...

A Galois equivariant Weil cohomology theory with coefficients in the rational numbers and a variation of the Tate/Hodge conjecture

A well-known example of Serre shows that there can be no Weil cohomology theory with $\mathbb Q$ coefficients for schemes over $\mathbb F_{p^2}$. However, this example is no obstruction to a Weil ...
