We show how to recover a general hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^n$ of sufficiently large degree $d$ dividing $n+1$, from its finite order variation of Hodge structure. We also analyze the two other series of cases not covered by Donagi's…
Given a compact K\"ahler manifold, the Infinitesimal Torelli problem asks whether the differential of the period map of a Kuranishi family is injective. Unlike the classical Torelli theorem for curves, there is a negative answer for example…
The article proves the Infinitesimal Torelli theorem for surfaces subject to the following conditions: 1) the canonical bundle of a surface is ample and generated by its global sections, 2)the geometric genus $p_g \geq 4$, 3) the…
We construct a mixed Hodge structure on the topological K-theory of smooth Poisson varieties, depending weakly on a choice of compactification. We establish a package of tools for calculations with these structures, such as functoriality…
