Abstract: We show that the statement analogous to the Mumford-Tate conjecture for abelian varieties holds for 1-motives on unipotent parts. This is done by comparing the unipotent part of the associated Hodge group and the unipotent part of the image of the absolute Galois group with the unipotent part of the motivic fundamental group. Contains an appendix by P. Deligne. In this version: Minor corrections here and there. The Main result about the image of the Galois representations is now enriched by an adelic statement.

Review text

A 1-motive over a field \(k\) is given by a pair \((G,Y)\) with \(G\) an extension of an abelian variety by a torus over \(k\) and \(Y\) is étale locally constant, locally isomorphic to a finitely generated free \(\mathbb{Z}\)-module. There is an analogue for 1-motives of the classical Mumford-Tate conjecture for abelian varieties. The main result of the paper is the following theorem: Let \(M= (G,Y)\) be a 1-motive over a finitely generated subfield \(k\) of the field of complex numbers. Then the Mumford-Tate conjecture holds for \(M\) if and only if it holds for the quotient abelian variety of \(G\). As an immediate consequence one gets the following interesting corollary: Let \(X\) be a variety over \(k\). The Mumford-Tate conjecture holds for cohomology in degree 1 of \(X\) if and only if the classical Mumford-Tate conjecture holds for the Albanese variety of a smooth projective variety birational to \(X\). Although there is no Mumford-Tate group in positive characteristics, there is a result for these fields concerning the unipotent motivic fundamental group \(P(M)\) of a 1-motive \(M\). The appendix contains an explanation, due to Deligne, of the construction of the Lie algebra of \(P(M)\) in terms of Tannakian formalism.
