The purpose of this article is to construct a Hecke-equivariant Chow motive whose realizations equal interior (or intersection) cohomology of Hilbert-Blumenthal varieties with non-constant algebraic coefficients.
The purpose of this article is to construct a Hecke-equivariant Chow motive whose realizations equal interior (or intersection) cohomology of Picard surfaces with regular algebraic coefficients. As a consequence, we are able to define Grothendieck motives for Picard modular forms.
Applying the main results of math.AG/0408295, we identify the motives occurring as cones in the co-localization and localization filtrations of the boundary motive of a Shimura variety.
In this article we compare different conditions on abelian schemes with real multiplication which occur in the integral models of the Hilbert-Blumenthal Shimura variety considered by Rapoport, Deligne, Pappas and Kottwitz. We show that the models studied by Deligne/Pappas and Kottwitz are isomorphic over Spec Z_(p). We also examine the associated local models and prove that they are equal.
The aim of this article is the construction of the interior motive of a Picard variety. Those are Shimura varieties of PEL type. Our result is an application of the strategy developed by Wildeshaus to construct a Hecke-invariant motive whose realizations correspond to interior cohomology.
We first recall the construction of the Chow motive modelling intersection cohomology of a proper surface and study its fundamental properties. Using Voevodsky's category of effective geometrical motives, we then study the motive of the exceptional divisor in a non-singular blow-up. If all geometric irreducible components of the divisor are of genus zero, then Voevodsky's formalism allows us to construct certain one-extensions of Chow motives, as canonical sub-quotients of the motive with compact support of the smooth part of the surface. Specializing to Hilbert--Blumenthal surfaces, we recove…
We prove an absolute Chow-Kuenneth decomposition for the motive of universal families A of abelian varieties over some compact Shimura surface. We furthermore prove the Hodge conjecture for general fibres of A, extending results of Ribet.
In this article, we construct a Hecke-equivariant Chow motive whose realizations equal intersection cohomology of Siegel threefolds with regular algebraic coefficients. As a consequence, we are able to define Grothendieck motives for Siegel modular forms.
We consider several maps that occur naturally between modular Shimura varieties, Hilbert-Blumenthal varieties and the moduli spaces of polarized abelian varieties when forgetting certain endomorphism structures. We prove that, up to birational equivalences, these forgetful maps coincide with the natural projection by suitable abelian groups of Atkin-Lehner involutions.
In this paper, we give a notion of the potentially good reduction locus of a Shimura variety. It consists of the points which should be related with motives having potentially good reductions in some sense. We show the existence of such locus for a Shimura variety of preabelian type. Further, we construct a partition of the adic space associated to a Shimura variety of preabelian type, which is expected to describe degenerations of motives. Using this partition, we prove that the cohomology of the potentially good reduction locus is isomorphic to the cohomology of a Shimura variety up to non-s…
In paper 0704.4003, Bondarko recently defined the notion of weight structure, and proved that the category $\DgM$ of geometrical motives over a perfect field k, as defined and studied by Voevodsky, Suslin and Friedlander, is canonically equipped with such a structure. Building on this result, and under a condition on the weights avoided by the boundary motive, we describe a method to construct intrinsically in $\DgM$ a motivic version of interior cohomology of smooth, but possibly non-projective schemes. In a sequel to this work, this method will be applied to Shimura varieties.
In this article, we give an unconditional construction of a motivic analogue of the intermediate extension in the context of Chow motives of Abelian type. Our main application concerns intermediate extensions of Chow motives associated to Kuga families to the Baily--Borel compactification of a Shimura variety.
The purpose of this article is to provide a simplified construction of the intermediate extension of a Chow motive, provided a condition on absence of weights in the boundary is satisfied. We give a criterion, which guarantees the validity of the condition, and compare our new construction to the theory of the interior motive established earlier. We finish the article with a review of the known applications to the boundary of Shimura varieties.
In this article we study the Gross-Schoen diagonal cycle on a triple product of Shimura curves at a place of bad reduction. We relate the image of the diagonal cycle under the Abel-Jacobi map to certain period integral that governs the central critical value of the Garrett-Rankin type triple product $L$-function via level raising congruences. As an application we prove certain rank $0$ case of the Bloch-Kato conjecture for the symmetric cube motive of a weight $2$ modular form.
In the study of the arithmetic structure of elliptic modular groups which are the fundamental groups of compactified modular curves, these truncated group algebras and their direct sums are considered to construct elliptic modular motives. Our main result is a new theory of Hecke operators on these motives which gives a congruence relation to the Galois action, and their motivic decomposition. Using our Hecke theory, we show that elliptic modular motives are the direct sums of pure motives over certain number fields. This fact implies a kind of algebraicity on iterated Shimura integrals, i.e.,…
We study genus 2 Hilbert-Siegel varieties, i.e. Shimura varieties $S_K$ corresponding to the group $\mbox{GSp}_{4,F}$ over a totally real field $F$, along with the relative Chow motives $^λ\mathcal{V}$ of abelian type over $S_K$ obtained from irreducible representations $V_λ$ of $\mbox{GSp}_{4,F}$. We analyse the weight filtration on the degeneration of such motives at the boundary of the Baily-Borel compactification and we find a criterion on the highest weight $λ$ which characterises the absence of the middle weights 0 and 1 in the corresponding degeneration. Thanks to Wildeshaus' theory, th…
In this article, we improve our main results from \emph{Chow groups and $L$-derivatives of automorphic motives for unitary groups} in two direction: First, we allow ramified places in the CM extension $E/F$ at which we consider representations that are spherical with respect to a certain special maximal compact subgroup, by formulating and proving an analogue of the Kudla--Rapoport conjecture for exotic smooth Rapoport--Zink spaces. Second, we lift the restriction on the components at split places of the automorphic representation, by proving a more general vanishing result on certain cohomolo…
Shimura and Taniyama proved that if $A$ is a potentially CM abelian variety over a number field $F$ with CM by a field $K$ linearly disjoint from F, then there is an algebraic Hecke character $λ_A$ of $K$ such that $L(A/F,s)=L(λ_A,s)$. We consider a certain converse to their result. Namely, let $A$ be a potentially CM abelian variety appearing as a factor of the Jacobian of a curve of the form $y^e=γx^f+δ$. Fix positive integers $a$ and $n$ such that $n/2 < a \leq n$. Under mild conditions on $e, f, γ, δ$, we construct a Chow motive $M$, defined over $F=\mathbb{Q}(γ,δ)$, such that $L(M/F,s)$ a…
In this article, we study the Chow group of the motive associated to a tempered global $L$-packet $π$ of unitary groups of even rank with respect to a CM extension, whose global root number is $-1$. We show that, under some restrictions on the ramification of $π$, if the central derivative $L'(1/2,π)$ is nonvanishing, then the $π$-nearly isotypic localization of the Chow group of a certain unitary Shimura variety over its reflex field does not vanish. This proves part of the Beilinson--Bloch conjecture for Chow groups and $L$-functions, which generalizes the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjectur…
This article has three goals. First, we generalize the result of Deuring and Serre on the characterization of supersingular locus of modular curves to all Shimura varieties given by totally indefinite quaternion algebras over totally real number fields. Second, we generalize the result of Ribet on arithmetic level raising to such Shimura varieties in the inert case. Third, as an application to number theory, we use the previous results to study the Selmer group of certain triple product motive of an elliptic curve, in the context of the Bloch--Kato conjecture.
In his earlier paper the author offered a program of generalization of Kolyvagin's result of finiteness of SH to the case of some motives which are quotients of cohomology motives of Shimura varieties. The present paper is devoted to the first step of this program -- finding of an analog of Kolyvagin's trace relations for Siegel sixfolds and for the Hecke correspondence related to the matrix diag $(p,1,1,p,p^2,p^2)$. This is the first non-trivial case where we can expect that this program can be realised. Some results for other types of Siegel varieties and Hecke correspondences are obtained. …
