### On mixed Hodge structures of Shimura varieties attached to inner forms of the symplectic group of degree two

#### Abstract

We study arithmetic varieties $V$ attached to certain inner forms of $\boldsymbol{Q}$-rank one of the split symplectic $\boldsymbol{Q}$-group of degree two. These naturally arise as unitary groups of a 2-dimensional non-degenerate Hermitian space over an indefinite rational quaternion division algebra. First, we analyze the canonical mixed Hodge structure on the cohomology of these quasi-projective varieties and determine the successive quotients of the corresponding weight filtration. Second, by interpreting the cohomology groups within the framework of the theory of automorphic forms, we determine the internal structure of the cohomology “at infinity” of $V$, that is, the part which is spanned by regular values of suitable Eisenstein series or residues of such. In conclusion, we discuss some relations between the mixed Hodge structure and the so called Eisenstein cohomology. For example, we show that the Eisenstein cohomology in degree two consists of algebraic cycles.
