Has anyone written about filtered Tannakian categories?

tl;dr Is there any source that discusses the concept of a filtered Tannakian category? I'm writing a paper with this notion and want to know if it's ever been discussed. The original book by Saavedra-...

Grothendieck rings and the Tannakian formalism

I understand that the Tannakian formalism (which I only "know" extremely superficially) is very important for the theory of motives. I guess "the" conjectural category of motives ...

How much of the category of motives can be recovered from automorphisms of the Betti functor

Say we are working with schemes over a field $k\subset \mathbb{C}.$ A motive in the sense of Voevodsky is a functor $Sch\to D^bVect$ from (an appropriate category of) schemes to the DG category of ...

Why linearization leads to arithmetization?

Sorry for this question, but I think it is really important the intuition here. Motives can be seen as the 'best' way of linearizing the study of schemes, des-composing them into "cohomological atoms"...

Derived version of equivalence between motives and representations of Motivic galois groups?

A slight variant $\tilde Mot_{num}(k,\mathbb{Q})$ of the category of pure motives $Mot_{num}(k,\mathbb{Q})$ is a Tannakian category equivalent to a category of representations of some algebraic group $...

Roadmap to study (Deligne) Algebraic geometry over Tannakian categories

I would like to know the way to proceed in the first lecture of Deligne's Le groupe fondamental de la droite projective moins trois points. General advices for reading Deligne's paper. What should I ...

Relations between Motivic Galois groups and Motivic t-structure?

What are some relations between the existence of Motivic t-structures and Motivic galois groups? I heard that indeed the existence of the Motivic t-structure implies the isomorphism between Ayoub's ...

Conjecture of relation between residues of Feynman integrals and mixed Tate motives

In many articles (for example in articles given by M.Marcoli) there is statement that there is the following conjecture Residues of Feynman integrals in scalar field theories are always periods of ...

Stack of Tannakian categories? Galois descent?

I'm having trouble finding a reference for something that I'm guessing the experts worked out long ago. Let's take a local or global field $F$ for this post, and fix a separable algebraic closure $\...

How does the conjectural Langlands group fit into the Tannakian point of view?

I've read that one way to formulate the Langlands program is the following: Let $\mathcal{L}_ {\mathbb{Q}}$ be the conjectural Langlands group. Then the category of semi-simple (continuous) ...

Why would the category of Motives be Tannakian?

After reading the answer to my previous question: What are the different theories that the motivic fundamental group attempts to unify? I decided to read up on Tannakian formalism. Given the ...

commutativity constraint in Grothendieck's motives

This is a basic question about Grothendieck's conjectural category $M_k$ of pure motives (over a field $k$). This construction first produces a category (the "false category of motives") which need ...
