Definition of Hodge tensor

Question

The following is the definition of Hodge structures as given in [Milne]:

Let $R$ be one of $\mathbb{R}, \mathbb{Q}$ or $\mathbb{Z}$. And, let $(V,h)$ be an $R$-Hodge structure of weight $n$. Then, multilinear form $V^r\rightarrow R$ is a Hodge tensor is the corresponding map $$V^{\otimes r}\rightarrow R(-nr/2)$$ is a morphism of Hodge structures.

Probably the most famous example is when $r=2$, you get a polarization. This in tern helps define an equivalence between the category of Abelian varieties over $\mathbb{C}$ and polarizable $\mathbb{Z}$-Hodge structures of type $(-1,0),(0,-1)$.

My question is kind of stupid. What is $R(m/2)$ when $m$ is odd? If my Hodge structure is of odd weight (as it is in the above example), can we not have any Hodge tensors where $r$ is also odd? My best guess is that $R(m/2)$ when $m$ is odd is just zero. But, I am not entirely confident to continue reading with a shakey guess.

Answer 1

$R(m/2)$ is not defined if $m$ is odd, so, in fact, there are no Hodge tensors unless $nr$ is even. This reflects the fact that there are no Hodge classes in $H^i$ unless $i$ is even.
