There is a fruitful interplay between algebraic geometry on the one side and perturbative quantum field theory on the other side. I review the main relevant mathematical concepts of periods, Hodge structures and Picard-Fuchs equations and…
This paper gives an expository account of our experiments concerning relations between modular forms for congruence subgroups of SL(3,Z) and three dimensional Galois representations. The main new result presented here is a calculation of…
We begin by introducing the concept of a Hodge structure and give some of its basic properties, including the Hodge and Lefschetz decompositions. We then define the period map, which relates families of Kahler manifolds to the families of…
We introduce an algebraic method for describing the Hodge filtration of degenerating hypersurfaces in projective toric varieties. For this purpose, we show some fundamental properties of logarithmic differential forms on proper equivariant…
We present period domains of complex Hodge structures and some of their basic properties from representation theory point of view. Specifically we introduce the automorphic cohomology of period domains and the complex structure on symmetric…
Period domains, the classifying spaces for (pure, polarized) Hodge structures, and more generally Mumford-Tate domains, arise as open $G_{\mathbb{R}}$--orbits in flag varieties $G/P$. We investigate Hodge--theoretic aspects of the geometry…
We introduce a generalization of variations of Hodge structures living over moduli spaces of non-commutative deformations of complex manifolds. Hodge structure associated with a point of such moduli space is an element of Sato type…
A variation of Hodge structure is a horizontal holomorphic mapping into a flag domain D; here "horizontal" indicates that the image of the map satisfies a system of partial differential equations known as the infinitesimal period relation…
At the end of the 70s, Gross and Deligne conjectured that periods of geometric Hodge structures with multiplication by an abelian number field are products of values of the gamma function at rational arguments, with exponents determined by…
This paper was motivated by the following question: Recall that for a smooth projective variety X whose polarized Hodge structure on H^n(X,Q)_{prim} leads to a period point ...
The category of rational mixed Hodge-Tate structures is a mixed Tate category. So thanks to the Tannakian formalism, it is equivalent to the category of finite dimensional graded comodules over a graded commutative Hopf algebra H over Q.…
This paper studies the possible Hodge groups of simple polarizable $\mathbb{Q}$-Hodge structures with Hodge numbers $(n,0,\ldots,0,n)$. In particular, it generalizes earlier work of Ribet and Moonen-Zarhin to completely determine the…
This is my habilitation thesis. As the tradition wants, I tried to give an introduction of my field of research. I post it on the ArXiv with the hope it can be useful to young researchers looking for a short and friendly text on…
The Hodge theory of complex algebraic varieties is at heart a transcendental comparison of two algebraic structures. We survey the recent advances bounding this transcendence, mainly due to the introduction of o- minimal geometry as a…
One of the goals of this article is to describe the isomorphism between Lubin-Tate and Drinfeld towers at the level of their skeletons after taking quotient by $\GL_n (\O_F)\times \O_D^\times$ or $I\times\O_D^\times$ where $\O_D$ is the…
This paper determines all the possible endomorphism algebras for polarizable Q-Hodge structures of type (n,0,...,0,n). This generalizes the classification of the possible endomorphism algebras of abelian varieties by Albert and Shimura. As…
The purpose of this article is to give an interpretation of real projective structures and associated cohomology classes in terms of connections, sections, etc. satisfying elliptic partial differential equations in the spirit of Hodge…
In the recent works of a number of people there has emerged a beautiful new perspective on the arithmetic properties of Hodge structures. A central result in that development appears in a paper by Baldi, Klingler, and Ullmo. In this…
We review the language of differential forms and their applications to Riemannian Geometry with an orientation to General Relativity. Working with the principal algebraic and differential operations on forms, we obtain the structure…
For a linear algebraic group G over the field of rational numbers, we consider the period domains D classifying G-mixed Hodge structures, and construct the extended period domains as toroidal partial compactifications. We give an…
