Abstract
We classify the irreducible Hermitian real variations of Hodge structure admitting an infinitesimal normal function, and draw conclusions for cycle-class maps on families of abelian varieties with a given Mumford-Tate group.

Key words: normal function; Hermitian symmetric domain; Mumford-Tate group; variation of Hodge structure; algebraic cycle.
