Extending tamely ramified strict 1-motives into két log 1-motives

Abstract

We define két abelian schemes, két 1-motives and két log 1-motives and formulate duality theory for these objects. Then we show that tamely ramified strict 1-motives over a discrete valuation field can be extended uniquely to két log 1-motives over the corresponding discrete valuation ring. As an application, we present a proof to a result of Kato stated in [12, §4.3] without proof. To a tamely ramified strict 1-motive over a discrete valuation field, we associate a monodromy pairing and compare it with Raynaud’s geometric monodromy.
