Realizations of 1-motives over a scheme of characteristic 0
Cristiana Bertolin
Abstract
Let S be a connected and smooth scheme of finite type over the complex numbers. We construct functorially the Hodge realization of a 1-motive over S as a torsion-free, polarizable and admissible variation of mixed Hodge structures of type (0,0),(-1,0),(0,-1),(-1,-1). We prove that this construction yields an equivalence between the category of 1-motives over S and the category of such variations of mixed Hodge structures, thereby extending Deligne's equivalence over the complex numbers to the relative case and providing a positive answer to a question of André concerning the geometric origin of admissible variations of mixed Hodge structures of the above type. We also describe the l-adic and de Rham realizations of 1-motives and show that these realizations fit naturally into Deligne's framework of smooth mixed realizations.
