The purpose of this article is to give a new construction of the map relating the Borel-Serre and the Baily-Borel compactifications of a Shimura variety (Zucker 1983), and to provide a close analysis of its main properties.
The purpose of this article is to determine the gluing data associated to degeneration of local systems to the boundary of the Baily--Borel compactification of a Shimura variety.
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.
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.
The purpose of this article is to define and study the notion of absolute intersection motive.
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.
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.
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 recover a motivic interpretation of a recent construction of A. Caspar.
We explain the role of the boundary motive in the construction of certain Chow motives, and of extensions of Chow motives. Our two main examples concern proper, singular surfaces and fibre products of a universal elliptic curve.
We first study the weight structure on the triangulated category of Artin-Tate motives over a perfect base field k, building on results of Bondarko's. We then study the t-structure on the triangulated category of Artin-Tate motives, when k is algebraic over the rationals, generalizing a result of Levine's. We finally study the interaction of the weight structure and the t-structure. When k is a number field, this will give a useful criterion identifying the weight structure via realizations.
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.
Using Beilinson's theory of f-categories, we prove that the triangulated category of Tate motives over a field k is equivalent to the bounded derived category of its heart, provided that k is algebraic over the rationals. This answers a question asked by Levine.

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.
We introduce the notion of the boundary motive of a scheme X over a perfect field. By definition, it measures the difference between the motive X and the motive with compact support of X. We develop three tools to compute the boundary motive in terms of the geometry of a compactification of X: co-localization, invariance under abstract blow-up, and analytical invariance. We then prove auto-duality of the boundary motive of a smooth scheme X. As a formal consequence of this, and of co-localization, we obtain a fourth computational tool, namely localization for the boundary motive.
We prove an analogue for Hodge modules of Pink's theorem on the degeneration of l-adic sheaves (Math. Ann. 292). Let j be the open immersion of a Shimura variety M into its Baily-Borel compactification. Its boundary has a natural stratification into locally closed subsets, each of which is itself a Shimura variety (up to taking the quotient by the action of a finite group). Let i be the inclusion of an individual such stratum M'. Saito's formalism gives a functor i^* j_* from the bounded derived category of Hodge modules on M to that of Hodge modules on M'. Our result gives a formula for the effect of i^* j_* on automorphic Hodge modules, i.e., variations of Hodge structure coming from algebraic representations of the group associated to M. This formula is of a purely representation theoretical nature.
The main purpose of this paper is the geometric construction, and the analysis of the formalism of elliptic Bloch groups. In the setting of absolute cohomology, we obtain a generalization of Beilinson's Eisenstein symbol to divisors of an elliptic curve, whose support is not necessarily torsion. For motivic cohomology, such a generalization is obtained in low degrees. Our main result shows that the Eisenstein symbol can be defined in all degrees if the elliptic analogue of the Beilinson-Soule vanishing conjecture holds.
Let (P,X) be Shimura data, M=M(P,X,K) the Shimura variety of level K. To an algebraic representation of P, one can associate a mixed sheaf (variation of Hodge structure, l-adic sheaf) on M. In the paper, we study the degeneration of such sheaves along strata in toroidal compactifications of M. The main result (2.8 in the Hodge setting, 3.9 in the l-adic setting) gives a formula for this degeneration in terms of Hochschild cohomology of certain unipotent subgroups of P. The new version differs from the earlier one in that the proof of 2.8 was rewritten. In particular, the effect of Saito's specialization functor along a stratum is identified on variations obtained via representations.
