The Ax-Schanuel conjecture for variations of Hodge structures

Algebraic Geometry 2017-12-15 v1 Logic Number Theory

Abstract

We extend the Ax-Schanuel theorem recently proven for Shimura varieties by Mok-Pila-Tsimerman to all varieties supporting a pure polarized integral variation of Hodge structures. The essential new ingredient is a volume bound on Griffiths transverse subvarieties of period domains.
