Abstract

In this paper, we prove some period relations for the ratio of Deligne’s periods for certain tensor product motives. These period relations give a motivic interpretation for certain algebraicity results for ratios of successive critical values for Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions for ${\rm GL}_n \times {\rm GL}_{n'}$ proved by Günter Harder and the second author.
