“…Let M be a pure motive over Q (with coefficients in Q, for simplicity) of weight w = w(M) and rank d = d(M), given by Betti, de Rham and l-adic realizations (for each prime l) H B (M), H D R (M) and H l (M) which are, respectively, vector spaces over Q, Q and Q l of dimension d, and which are endowed with the additional structures and comparison isomorphisms (for details see [8,4,3] in the sense of Deligne [8]) for some Dirichlet character χ and an integer m satisfying 0 = sign((−1) m (χ )). Deligne's period conjecture (see [8]) asserts that the quantity…”
