Motivic t-structure conjecture for rational geometric motives

Let kk be a field and let μ\mu be a tt-structure on the stable \infty-category DMgm(k;Q)\textup{DM}_{\textup{gm}}(k;\mathbb{Q}) of rational geometric Voevodsky motives. Its heart is DMgm(k;Q)\textup{DM}_{\textup{gm}}(k;\mathbb{Q})^{\heartsuit}, and μHq^{\mu}H^q denotes its cohomology functors. Let Num(k;Q)\textup{Num}(k;\mathbb{Q}) be the abelian category of rational numerical motives.

Motivic tt-structure conjecture. There is a motivic tt-structure on DMgm(k;Q)\textup{DM}_{\textup{gm}}(k;\mathbb{Q}) whose heart has semisimple part Num(k;Q)\textup{Num}(k;\mathbb{Q}), every motive has a filtration by rational numerical motives, and for every smooth projective kk-variety XX each μHqM(X)Q^{\mu}H^qM(X)_{\mathbb{Q}} is semisimple in the heart. Moreover, there is a unique increasing weight filtration WMW_{\bullet}M for every MDMgm(k;Q)M\in\textup{DM}_{\textup{gm}}(k;\mathbb{Q}) such that, for each irreducible PP, WmP=PW_mP=P and Wm1P=0W_{m-1}P=0 whenever PP occurs in some μHiM(X)Q(a)^{\mu}H^iM(X)_{\mathbb{Q}}(a) with m=i2am=i-2a and XX any smooth projective kk-variety.

This is presented as a notoriously difficult central conjecture in the theory of motives. The source uses it conditionally to deduce rational-motive invariance for K-equivalent smooth projective varieties; no resolution is supplied.
