Using a version of weight conservativity we demonstrate that for certain Shimura varieties (including all Shimura three-folds, most Shimura four-folds and the Siegel sixfold) the construction of the motivic intersection complex due to Wildeshaus compares with a motivic weight truncation in the sense of S. Morel. In particular it is defined up to a unique isomorphism, and satisfies the intrinsic characterization for an intermediate extension due to Wildeshaus.This general result yields to more specific results for Shimura varieties (see 3.3.1 for precise definitions):Corollary (See 3.3.4). Let X be any arbitrary Shimura threefold, or the Siegel sixfold (defined over it's reflex field k) and let Y := X * denote it's Baily-Borel compactification. Then, the intersection motive IM Y exists in DM (Y ) in the sense of [Wil12a] (see 2.4.3).Note that, the methods here also work for most Shimura fourfolds, see 3.3.6. As stated earlier, for the Siegel sixfold, we can even work with certain local systems:Corollary (See 3.3.7). Let X be the Siegel sixfold (defined over it's reflex field k) and let Y := X * denote it's Baily-Borel compactification. Let π : A → X denote the universal abelian scheme over X (which exists, for appropriate choice of arithmetic subgroups). Then, the intersection motive IM Y (N ) := j ! * N exists in DM (Y ) in the sense of [Wil12a] (see 2.4.3) where N is any summand of π * 1 A which realizes to a local system (upto shifts).1.4. The main method in this article is motivated by [Wil15b] of Wildeshaus -we use conservativity of the realization functors restricted to the triangulated category generated by motives of Abelian varieties (and arbitrary Tate twists) to calculate weights. However, for our purpose, it is not sufficient to work with weights in the sense of Bondarko [Bon14] or Hebert [Héb11] (which are motivic version of weights in the sense of Deligne), but we need to work with the motivic analogue of constructions due to S. Morel [Mor08, §3] (or more precisely, the mild generalization in [NV15, §3]). We briefly motivate the method below.
