The motivic action conjecture for Hilbert modular forms

Let FF be a real quadratic field and let ff be a normalized weight-one Hilbert modular eigenform. Let XX be the associated Hilbert modular surface, let ω\omega be its Hodge bundle, and let ωf1,ωf2H1(X,ω)C\omega_f^1,\omega_f^2\in H^1(X,\omega)\otimes_\mathbb{C} be the associated coherent cohomology classes. Let uiju_{ij} be the Stark units and set

Rf:=(logu11logu12logu21logu22).R_f:=\begin{pmatrix}\log|u_{11}|&\log|u_{12}|\log|u_{21}|&\log|u_{22}|\end{pmatrix}.

The motivic action conjecture. The classes

logu22ωf1logu12ωf2detRf,logu21ωf1+logu11ωf2detRf\frac{\log|u_{22}|\omega_f^1-\log|u_{12}|\omega_f^2}{\det R_f},\qquad \frac{-\log|u_{21}|\omega_f^1+\log|u_{11}|\omega_f^2}{\det R_f}

lie in H1(X,ω)QQ(f)H^1(X,\omega)\otimes_\mathbb{Q}\mathbb{Q}(f). Equivalently, they are rational coherent cohomology classes. This conjecture relates rationality of higher coherent cohomology classes to motivic cohomology and Stark regulators; the supplied text records a result of Stark for rational traces but does not resolve the motivic action conjecture in general.
