Let M be a T-motive. We introduce the notion of duality for M. Main
results of the paper (we consider uniformizable M over Fq[T] of rank r,
dimension n, whose nilpotent operator N is 0):
- Algebraic duality implies analytic duality (Theorem 5). Explicitly, this
means that the lattice of the dual of M is the dual of the lattice of M,
i.e. the transposed of a Siegel matrix of M is a Siegel matrix of the dual of
M.
- Let n=r−1. There is a 1 – 1 correspondence between pure T-motives (all
they are uniformizable), and lattices of rank r in Cn having dual
(Corollary 8.4).
