The monodromy pairing for logarithmic 1-motifs

Algebraic Geometry 2023-01-18 v2

Abstract

We describe a 3-step filtration on all logarithmic abelian varieties with constant degeneration. The obstruction to descending this filtration, as a variegated extension, from logarithmic geometry to algebraic geometry is encoded in a bilinear pairing valued in the characteristic monoid of the base. This pairing is realized as the monodromy pairing in p-adic, l-adic, and Betti cohomolgies, and recovers the Picard-Lefschetz transformation in the case of Jacobians. The Hodge realization of the filtration is the monodromy weight filtration on the limit mixed Hodge structure.
