# On motivic realizations of the canonical Hermitian variations of Hodge structure of Calabi-Yau type over type $D^{\mathbb H}$ domains

Let $\mathcal{D}$ be the irreducible Hermitian symmetric domain of type $D_{2n}^{\mathbb{H}}$. There exists a canonical Hermitian variation of real Hodge structure $\mathcal{V}_{\mathbb{R}}$ of Calabi-Yau type over $\mathcal{D}$. This short note concerns the problem of giving motivic realizations for $\mathcal{V}_{\mathbb{R}}$. Namely, we specify a descent of $\mathcal{V}_{\mathbb{R}}$ from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{Q}$ and ask whether the $\mathbb{Q}$-descent of $\mathcal{V}_{\mathbb{R}}$ can be realized as sub-variation of rational Hodge structure of those coming from families of algebraic varieties. When $n=2$, we give a motivic realization for $\mathcal{V}_{\mathbb{R}}$. When $n \geq 3$, we show that the unique irreducible factor of Calabi-Yau type in $\mathrm{Sym}^2 \mathcal{V}_{\mathbb{R}}$ can be realized motivically.
