The rationality conjecture for the Tamagawa number conjecture

Let $M$ be one of the motives $M(F)$ or $M(\eta)$. Let $\Xi(M)$ be the fundamental line

$$\Xi(M):=\operatorname{Det}_E(H^0_f(M))\otimes_E\operatorname{Det}_E^{-1}(H^1_f(M^\vee(1)))\otimes_E\operatorname{Det}_E^{-1}(M_B),$$

and let $\vartheta_\infty:E_\infty\simeq\Xi(M)\otimes_\mathbb{Q}\mathbb{R}$ be the isomorphism induced by the regulator exact sequence. Rational conjecture.

$$\vartheta_\infty(L^*(M,0)^{-1})\in\Xi(M)\otimes_\mathbb{Q}1.$$

This is the rationality part of the Tamagawa number conjecture, asserting that the leading term of the $L$-function gives a rational generator of the fundamental line. The source presents it as a conjectural formulation for the motives under consideration.
