ABSTRACT:

Given a Shimura variety S defined by a group G (e.g. a modular curve, in which case G=GL_2), there is a "canonical construction" which assigns to a representation of G variation of Hodge structures on the Shimura variety. Similarly, there is also a construction which gives an l-adic sheaf for each representation. It is conjectured that these should both be motivic in origin, i.e. for each representation of G, there should be a way to construct a motive over S whose cohomology coincides with that given by the previous constructions. We shall introduce all the concepts listed in the abstract and explain why such results are useful before giving a very brief outline of existing and current work in this direction.
