We show that the statement analogous to the Mumford-Tate conjecture for abelian varieties holds for 1-motives on unipotent parts. This is done by comparing the unipotent part of the associated Hodge group and the unipotent part of the image…

Let T be a Tannakian category over a field k of characteristic 0 and \pi(T) its fundamental group. In this paper we prove that there is a bijection between the otimes-equivalence classes of Tannakian subcategories of T and the normal affine…

Let $A_1, A_2,A_3$ be semisimple objects in a neutral tannakian category over a field of characteristic zero. Let $L$ be an extension of $A_2$ by $A_1$, and $N$ an extension of $A_3$ by $A_2$. Let $M$ be a blended extension (extension…

In this mostly expository note we explain how Nori's theory of motives achieves the aim of establishing a Galois theory of periods, at least under the period conjecture. We explain and compare different notions periods, different versions…

We show how the geometry of a 1-motive $M$ (that is existence of endomorphisms and relations between the points defining it) determines the dimension of its motivic Galois group ${\mathcal{G}}{\mathrm{al}}_{\mathrm{mot}}(M)$. Fixing periods…

Given a rigid tensor-triangulated category and a vector space valued homological functor for which the K\"{u}nneth isomorphism holds, we construct a universal graded-Tannakian category through which the given homological functor factors. We…

Let M be a 1-motive defined over a field of characteristic 0. To M we can associate its motivic Galois group, G_mot(M), which is the geometrical interpretation of the Munford-Tate group of M. We prove that the unipotent radical of the Lie…

We classify the possible Mumford-Tate groups of polarizable rational Hodge structures. Along the way we deduce a polarized Hodge-theoretic analogue of a conjectural property of motivic Galois groups suggested by Serre.

The torsor P_s=Hom(H_{\DR},H_s) under the motivic Galois group G_s=Aut H_s of the Tannakian category M_k generated by one-motives related by absolute Hodge cycles over a field k with an embedding s into the complex numbers is shown to be…

Deligne and Goncharov constructed a neutral tannakian category of mixed Tate motives unramified over $\mathbb{Z}[\mu_N,1/N]$. Brown and Hain--Matsumoto computed the depth 2 quadratic relations of the motivic Galois group of this category…

We give necessary conditions for a category fibred in pseudo-abelian additive categories over the classifying topos of a profinite group to be a stack; these conditions are sufficient when the coefficients are $\mathbf{Q}$-linear. This…

The goal of this paper is to construct a category of motivic "sheaves" on an algebraic variety defined over a subfield of C, using Nori's method. This categoryis abelian and it possesses faithful exact realization functors to the…

We introduce the notion of algebraic cogroup over a subfield $k$ of the complex numbers, and use it to prove that every Nori motive over $k$ is isomorphic to a quotient of a motive of the form $H^n(X, Y)(i)$.

Let k be a number field, and let S be a finite set of k-rational points of P^1. We relate the Deligne-Goncharov contruction of the motivic fundamental group of X:=P^1_k- S to the Tannaka group scheme of the category of mixed Tate motives…

We define the category of mixed Tate motives over the ring of S-integers of a number field. We define the motivic fundamental group (made unipotent) of a unirational variety over a number field. We apply this to the study of the motivic…

Let EHM be Nori's category of effective homological mixed motives. In this paper, we consider the thick abelian subcategory EHM_1 generated by the i-th relative homology of pairs of varieties for i = 0,1. We show that EHM_1 is naturally…

We show that the spectrum of Kontsevich's algebra of formal periods is a torsor under the motivic Galois group for mixed motives over the rational numbers. This assertion is stated without proof by Kontsevich and originally due to Nori. In…

We study Galois descents for categories of mixed Tate motives over $\mathcal{O}_{N}[1/N]$, for $N\in \left\{2, 3, 4, 8\right\}$ or $\mathcal{O}_{N}$ for $N=6$, with $\mathcal{O}_{N}$ the ring of integers of the $N^{\text{th}}$ cyclotomic…

In characteristic 0 there are essentially two approaches to the conjectural theory of mixed motives, one due to Nori and the other one due to, independently, Hanamura, Levine, and Voevodsky. Although these approaches are apriori quite…

We compute the dimension of the motivic Galois group of a 1-motive M defined over the field of complex numbers, expressing it explicitly in terms of the rank of the multiplicative group generated by the points defining M. As an application,…
