Gordon–Hanamura–Murre's Motivic Decomposition Conjecture

Let A\overline{A} and X\overline{X} be quasi-projective varieties over C\mathbb C, with A\overline{A} smooth, and let f:AX\overline{f}:\overline{A}\to\overline{X} be a projective map. Let

X=X0X1Xdim(X)\overline{X}=X_0\supset X_1\supset\cdots\supset X_{\dim(X)}

be a stratification such that f\overline{f} is a stratified map. Write Xα0=XαXα1X_\alpha^0=X_\alpha\setminus X_{\alpha-1}. Gordon–Hanamura–Murre's Motivic Decomposition Conjecture. There are local systems Vαj\mathcal V^j_\alpha on Xα0X_\alpha^0, a complete set Παj\Pi^j_\alpha of orthogonal projectors, and isomorphisms

j,αΨαj:RfQAj,αICXα(Vαj)[jdim(Xα)]\sum_{j,\alpha}\Psi^j_\alpha:\mathbb R\overline f_*\mathbb Q_{\overline A}\xrightarrow{\cong}\bigoplus_{j,\alpha}IC_{X_\alpha}(\mathcal V^j_\alpha)[-j-\dim(X_\alpha)]

in the derived category. This conjecture seeks a motivic refinement of the decomposition of a projective map into intersection-complex constituents, providing algebraic projectors for the corresponding pieces. The source gives no resolution status, and the general assertion is therefore recorded as open.
