The motivic Hecke algebra for PEL Shimura varieties

Abstract

We construct a motivic lift of the action of the Hecke algebra on the cohomology of PEL Shimura varieties SKS_K. To do so, when SKS_K is associated with a reductive algebraic group GG and VV is a local system on SKS_K coming from a GG-representation, we define a motivic Hecke algebra HM(G,K)\mathcal{H}^M(G,K) as a natural sub-algebra of the endomorphism algebra, in the triangulated category of motives, of the constructible motive associated with SKS_K and VV. The algebra HM(G,K)\mathcal{H}^M(G,K) is such that realizations induce an epimorphism from it onto the classical Hecke algebra. We then consider Wildeshaus' theory of interior motives, along with the necessary hypotheses for it to be employed. Whenever those assumptions hold, one gets a Chow motive realizing to interior VV-valued cohomology of SKS_K, equipped with an action of HM(G,K)\mathcal{H}^M(G,K) as an algebra of correspondences modulo rational equivalence. We give a list of known cases where this applies.
