Variational motivic conjecture for local systems

About 1 year old · traced to

Let k‾\overline{k} be a separable algebraic closure of a finitely generated field kk, let f:X→Sf:X\to S be a smooth proper morphism of smooth k‾\overline{k}-schemes, and let V\mathbb{V} be a semisimple local system on XX. Suppose that for some s∈S(k‾)s\in S(\overline{k}), the restriction V∣Xs\mathbb{V}|_{X_s} is of geometric origin, meaning it occurs as a subquotient of the cohomology local system of a smooth projective family. Variational motivic conjecture. For every t∈S(k‾)t\in S(\overline{k}), the restriction V∣Xt\mathbb{V}|_{X_t} is of geometric origin. This is stated as a prediction of the relative Fontaine–Mazur conjecture and is described as completely out of reach.
