The modularity theorem as a special case of the Bloch-Kato conjecture
In the homepage for the CRM's special semester this year, I found the interesting statement that the modularity theorem (formerly the Taniyama-Shimura-Weil conjecture) is a special case of the Bloch-...

What should motives for $L(E,n)$ look like?
Goncharov and Manin showed in this paper that the zeta values $\zeta(n)$ can be realized as periods of framed mixed Tate motives constructed from moduli spaces $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{0,n+3}$ of ...

constants in Gamma factors in functional equation for zeta functions.
Usually the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ gets multiplied by a "gamma factor" to give a function $\xi(s)$ satisfying a functional equation $\xi(s)=\xi(1-s)$. If I changed this gamma factor by a non-...

Motivic L-function vs motivic zeta function
Let $M$ be a pure motive over a field $k$. Roughly speaking, the L-function of $M$ is the product over all primes $p$ of
$$L_p(M,s)=\det(I-Fr_p|_{M_\ell^I} N(p)^{-s})^{-1}$$
where $Fr_p$ is a ...

Difference of Beilinson conjecture and equivariant Tamagawa number conjecture
As stated in the title, I am wondering the main difference between Beilinson conjecture and eTNC. If I read correctly, I can see that there are many literature treating both conjectures in the same ...

On Deligne's determinant of motives
This is a question about Deligne's conjecture on special values of L-functions. I have to confess that I've never understood the definition of the determinant which is supposed to give the right ...

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 ...

Do those manifolds atrached to L-functions give rise naturally to motives? [closed]
Edited after Will Sawin's comment:
Consider the set $\mathcal{M}$ of all automorphic L-functions belonging to the Selberg class. Such a set is closed for the product $.$ and the tensor product $\...
