Title: What is the Mumford--Tate conjecture?
Abstract: In some sense, the Mumford--Tate conjecture relates the data of the singular cohomology and the etale cohomology of a smooth projective variety defined over a number field. I will explain this in more detail, and then discuss what is currently known about this conjecture as well as some variants of it.
