Abstract
This chapter considers some arithmetic aspects of period maps with a geometric origin. It focuses on the situation Φ : S(ℂ) → Γ\D, where S parametrizes a family X → S of smooth, projective varieties defined over a number field k. The chapter recalls the notion of absolute Hodge classes (AH) and strongly absolute Hodge classes (SAH). The particular case when the Noether-Lefschetz locus consists of isolated points is alluded to in the discussion of complex multiplication Hodge structures (CM Hodge structures). A related observation is that one may formulate a variant of the “Grothendieck conjecture” in the setting of period maps and period domains. The chapter also describes a behavior of fields of definition under the period map, along with the existence and density of CM points in a motivic variation of Hodge structure.
