Abstract

Period mappings were introduced in the sixties [4] to study variation of complex structures of families of algebraic varieties. The theory of tautological systems was introduced recently [7,8] to understand period integrals of algebraic manifolds. In this paper, we give an explicit construction of a tautological system for each component of a period mapping. We also show that the D-module associated with the tautological system gives rise to many interesting vanishing conditions for period integrals at certain special points of the parameter space.

Highlights

  • Period mappings were introduced in the sixties [G] to study variation of complex structures of families of algebraic varieties

  • Let π : Y → B be the family of smooth CY hyperplane sections Ya ⊂ X, and let Htop be the Hodge bundle over B whose fiber at a ∈ B is the line Γ(Ya, ωYa) ⊂ Hd−1(Ya)

  • In [LY] the period integrals of this family are constructed by giving a canonical trivialization of Htop

Summary

Scalar system for first derivative

We shall use τ to denote interchangeably both the D-module and its left defining ideal. The goal of this section is to write a system of scalar valued partial differential equations whose solution contains all the information of first order partial derivatives of period integrals. We get a system of differential equations whose solutions are vector valued of the form (φ1(a), . Equation (2.3f) shows that φ(a, b) is homogeneous of degree 1 in b, which implies that g = 0 and φ(a, b) = bkhk(a). Let M := DV ∨×V ∨/J where J is the left ideal generated by the operators in system (2.3). The Fourier transform of the D-module M = DV ∨×V ∨/J is M = DV ×V /J , where J is the DV ×V -ideal generated by the following operators:. The D-module M = DV ∨×V ∨/J is homogeneous since the ideal J is generated by homogeneous elements under the graduation deg deg. M is regular holonomic since its Fourier transform M is regular holonomic [Br]
