Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the notion of a bi-Q\overline{\mathbb{Q}}-structure on the tangent space at a CM point on a locally Hermitian symmetric domain. We prove that this bi-Q\overline{\mathbb{Q}}-structure decomposes into the direct sum of 11-dimensional bi-Q\overline{\mathbb{Q}}-subspaces, and make this decomposition explicit for the moduli space of abelian varieties Ag\mathbb{A}_g. We propose an Analytic Subspace Conjecture, which is the analogue of the W\"{u}stholz's Analytic Subgroup Theorem in this context. We show that this conjecture, applied to Ag\mathbb{A}_g, implies that all quadratic Q\overline{\mathbb{Q}}-relations among the holomorphic periods of CM abelian varieties arise from elementary ones.
