On Green's proof of infinitesimal Torelli theorem for hypersurfaces

Algebraic Geometry 2017-05-09 v2

Abstract

We prove an equivalence between the infinitesimal Torelli theorem for top forms on a hypersurface contained inside a Grassmannian G\mathbb G and the theory of adjoint volume forms presented in L. Rizzi, F. Zucconi, "Generalized adjoint forms on algebraic varieties", Ann. Mat. Pura e Applicata, in press. More precisely, via this theory and a suitable generalization of Macaulay's theorem we show that the differential of the period map vanishes on an infinitesimal deformation if and only if certain explicitly given twisted volume forms go in the generalized Jacobi ideal of XX via the cup product homomorphism.
