2 Isolated hypersurface singularities Assume f : C n+1 C a holomorphic germ with isolated singularity. It gives the Milnor fibration (C ), f : X T Provides 1-parameter degenerating family, T = T \ 0 X U X f f f H e T T (1) Monodromy transformation M : H Z H Z, H Z = H n (X s0, Z), where s 0 T and dim H n (X s0, Q) = µ (the Milnor number of f ).

3 Monodromy theorem Theorem (Monodromy theorem) The eigenvalues of M are m th root of unity, for a suitable integer m, i.e if M = M s.m u is Jordan decomposition, then M m s = 1. If l is the largest integer that for some p, H i,k i (X t, C) 0, if p i p + l. Then and hence for l min(k, 2n k) + 1. (M u 1) l = 0 (M m 1) l = 0,

4 Compactification of Milnor fibration Assume f : X T is a Milnor fibration of an isolated hypersurface singularity at 0 C n+1. Can assume f is a polynomial of sufficiently high degree, say d = deg f. Can embed the fibration into a projective one f Y : P n+1 T C defined via a homogeneous polynomial f Y. Obtain a locally trivial C -fibration f Y : Y T with, F (z 0,..., z n+1 ) = z d n+1 f (z 0/z n+1,..., z n /z n+1 ), Y = {(z, t) P n+1 (C) T f Y = F(z) tz d n+1 = 0}. Set Y = Y T H.

5 Nilpotent Orbit Theorem-Limit mixed Hodge structure N Y = log(m Y,u ) where M Y = M Y,s.M Y,u is the Jordan decomposition; N gives a Weight filtration W [ ] on H Z defined by (a) N : W k W k 2 (b) N k : Gr W m+k Gr W m k is an isomorphism. s := exp( 1.t) where Im(t) > 0; By the nilpotent orbit theorem (W. Schmid), the limit lim Im(t) exp( tn)f p s =: F p exists, and (H n (Y, Q), W k, F p ) is a MHS.

6 If Y is a projective variety of dimension n, Then { H n P n (Y, C), n odd (Y, C) = P n (Y, C) ω n/2, n even where P n = ker(. ω : H n H n ), ω Kahler form. We set (I coh Y Theorem cup product) S Y = ( 1) n(n 1)/2 I coh Y. (W. Schmid) S Y, N Y, W, F give a polarized mixed Hodge structure on P n (Y ). It is invariant w.r.t M Y,s.

7 Steenbrink limit mixed Hodge structure-first definition Theorem If f is a polynomial of sufficiently high degree s.t the properties above are satisfied. Then the mapping i : P n (Y ) H n (X ) is surjective and the kernel is ker(i ) = ker(m Y id). Moreover, there exists a unique MHS on H n (X ) namely Steenbrink MHS, which makes the following short exact sequence an exact sequence of mixed Hodge structures 0 ker(m Y id) P n (Y ) i H n (X ) 0. The MHS s are invariant w.r.t the semi-simple part of the monodromy. The Steenbrink LMHS is polarized by { S Y (i a, i b) a, b H 1 S(a, b) = S Y (i a, N Y i b) a, b H 1

8 Cohomology bundle-vanishing cohomology The cohomology bundle (rank µ-local system of MHS) H := t T H n (X t, C) Holomorphic integrable (Gauss-Manin) connection; Define t : H H, H = (O T ) µ H n (X, C) λ = ker(m s λ) H n (X, C)

9 Elementary section-deligne extension Elementary sections; Define a map, s(a, α)(t) = t α exp[log(t). N 2πi ] A α(t), It gives the isomorphism A α (t) H n (X t, C) λ, e 2πiα = λ, ψ α : H n (X, C) (i H) 0, ψ α (A) := i s(a, α). ψ α : H n (X, C) λ C α G 0, N/2πi = ψ 1 α (t t α) ψ α

10 Nearby map Builds up the isomorphism; ψ = ψ α : H C = H e 2πiα C 1<α 0 1<α 0 1<α 0 Monodromy M on H C corresponds to exp( 2πi.t t ). ψ is called Deligne nearby map. C α

11 Kashiwara-Malgrange V-filtration Definition: Gauss-Manin system G = C{t}[t 1 ]C α. 1<α 0 Definition: V -filtration is defined on G by V α = C{t}C β, (V >α = β α β>αc{t}c β ) (a) t.v α V α+1, (b) t.v α V α 1, (c) t i j t V α V α for all i > j, (d) The operator t t α is nilpotent on GrV α. V α, V >α are C{t}-modules of rank µ.

12 Gauss-Manin system We have, λ m λ G = C{t}[ t ] C{t}[ t ] C{t}[ t ](t t α λ ) n. λ,j j=1 In case of isolated hypersurface singularities, t : G G is invertible. The Gauss-Manin connection t : G G of isolated hypersurface singularities, has an extension to the whole disc T that has a regular singularity at 0, i.e. has a pole of order at most 1 at 0.

13 Brieskorn Lattice Definition: E. Brieskorn defines the O T -modules (X Milnor ball) H = f ( Ω n+1 X df dω n 1 X H df Ω n X = f ( df dω n 1 ) X They have rank µ, such that H T = H T = H. We have canonical isomorphisms, Ω f = Ωn+1 df Ω n = H 1 t ) = V 1.H t.v 1 = Hn (X ) (2)

14 Steenbrink Limit mixed Hodge structure-second definition Hodge filtrations on H n (X, C), F p St Hn (X, C) λ = ψ 1 α ( V α n p t H 0 V >α ), α ( 1, 0], F p Va Hn (X, C) λ = ψα 1 ( V α t (n p) H 0 V >α ), α ( 1, 0] Knowing that V 1 H 0, and 0 = F n+1 = F n+1 Va. With the weight filtration W define mixed Hodge structures on H n (X, C). Theorem The Hodge filtration F St is the Steenbrink limit Hodge filtration.

15 Theorem (A. Varchenko) (F, W ) and (F Va, W ) are different on H n (X, C) in general, However F p Va Gr l W = F p St Gr l W. Theorem (E. Brieskorn) Assume f : C n+1 C is a holomorphic map with isolated singularity, inducing the Milnor fibration f : X T. Then we have the following isomorphisms G = R n f C O T = R n f Ω X /T = Ω n+1 [t, t 1 ] (d tdf )Ω n+1 [t, t 1 ] where t is a variable.

16 Extenstion of Gauss-Manin system-algebraic case The Brieskorn Lattice is defined by, G 0 := image(ω n+1 [t] G) = Set G p := τ p G 0, τ = t 1. Ω n+1 [t] (td df )Ω n+1 [t] There are isomorphisms given by multiplication by t p. G p V α G p 1 V α + G p V >α = The gluing is done via the isomorphisms, V α+p G 0 V α G 1 + V >α G 0 Gr n p F (H λ ) = Gr V α+p(h /τ 1.H )

17 Extension of Gauss-Manin system Theorem The identity H (0) τ 1.H (0) = Ωn+1 df Ω n = Ω f defines the extension fiber of the Gauss-Manin system of the isolated singularity f : C n+1 C.

18 Good basis Theorem (M. Saito) Assume {(α i, d i )} is the spectrum of a germ of isolated singularity f : C n+1 C. There exists elements s i C α i with the properties (1) s 1,..., s µ project onto a C-basis of 1<α<n Gr V αh /GrV α 1 t H. (2) s µ+1 := 0; there exists ν : {1,..., µ} {1,..., µ, µ + 1} with (t (α i + 1) 1 t )s i = s ν(i) (3) There exists an involution κ : {1,..., µ} {1,..., µ} with κ = µ + 1 i if α i 1 2 (n 1) and κ(i) = µ + 1 i or κ(i) = i if α i = 1 2 (n 1), and P S (s i, s j ) = ±δ (µ+1 i)j. 1 n t. where P is the Saito higher residue pairing.

19 Opposite filtrations Theorem (M. Saito) The filtration U p C α := C α V α+p H is opposite to the filtration Hodge filtration F on G. Two filtrations F and U on H are called opposite, if Gr F p Gr q U H = 0, for p q The two filtrations F p and U q := U n q = ψ 1 { α C α V α+n q H } = ψ 1 { α Gr α V [V α+n q H ]} are two opposite filtrations on H n (X, C).

20 Extension of mixed Hodge structure The Deligne bigrading, H n (X, C) = p,q,λ Define, I p,q λ Φ p,q λ where : I p,q λ ˆΦ λ Gr α+n p V H pr Gr V (H / 1 t H ) ˆΦ p,q λ := p n t ψ α I p,q λ Φ = p,q,λ Φp,q λ, Φp,q λ = pr ψ α is the nearby isomorphism. ˆΦ p,q λ = Ω f (3)

21 Mixed Hodge structure on Ω f Theorem The map Φ is a well-defined C-linear isomorphism. Definition The mixed Hodge structure on Ω f is defined by using the isomorphism Φ. This means that W k (Ω f ) = ΦW k H n (X, Q), F p (Ω f ) = ΦF p H n (X, C) and the data of the Steenbrink MHS on H n (X, C) such as the Q or R-structure is transformed via the isomorphism Φ to that of Ω f. Specifically; in this way we also obtain a conjugation map. : Ω f,q C Ω f,q C, Ω f,q := ΦH n (X, Q) (4) defined from the conjugation on H n (X, C) via this map.

22 Main result Theorem: Assume f : (C n+1, 0) (C, 0), is a holomorphic germ with isolated singularity at 0, with f : X T the associated Milnor fibration. Embed the Milnor fibration in a projective fibration f Y : Y T of degree d (with d large enough), by inserting possibly a singular fiber over 0. Then, the isomorphism Φ makes the following diagram commutative up to a complex constant; Res f,0 : Ω f Ω f (Φ 1,Φ 1 ) C 0 (5) where, S : H n (X ) H n (X ) C Res f,0 = res f,0 (, C )

23 Main result and C is defined relative to the Deligne decomposition of Ω f, via the isomorphism Φ. If J p,q = Φ 1 I p,q is the corresponding subspace of Ω f, then Ω f = p,q J p,q C J p,q = ( 1) p (6) In other words; S(Φ 1 (ω), Φ 1 (η)) = res f,0 (ω, C.η), 0 C (7)

24 Example-Quasihomogeneous fibrations Take f = 0 with f to be quasi-homogeneous in weighted degrees (w 1,..., w n ), with the unique Milnor fiber X = f 1 (1). MHS on H n (X, C) : the Hodge filtration given by the degree of forms in the weighted projective space, and the weight filtration as 0 = W n 1 W n W n+1 = H n (X, C) Assume {φ 1,..., φ µ } be a basis for Ω f, we consider the corresponding Leray residues φ i η i = c i.res f =1 ( (f 1) l(i) ) Here c i C is a normalizing constant.

25 Example-Quasihomogeneous case Then, S(η i, η j ) = res f,0 (φ i, Cφ j ) The isomorphism Φ is as follows, Φ 1 : [z i dz] c i.[res f =1 (z i dz/(f 1) [l(i)] )] with c i C, and z i in the basis mentioned above.

26 Example For instance if f = x 3 + y 4, then as basis for Jacobi ring, we choose z i : 1, y, x, y 2, xy, xy 2 The basis correspond to top forms with degrees l(i) = α i (ω i + 1). l(i) : 7/12, 10/12, 11/12, 13/12, 14/12, 17/12 The Hodge filtration is defined via F p := C.{ω; p 1 < l(ω) < p}.

27 Example The above basis projects onto a basis Grα V H Gr V Ω f 1<α=l(i) 1<n h 1,0 = h 0,1 = 3. Therefore, because Φ is an isomorphism. < 1.ω, y.ω, x.ω >= Ω 0,1 f, < y 2.ω, xy.ω, xy 2.ω >= Ω 1,0 f where ω = dx dy, and the Hodge structure is pure, because Gr W 2 Hn (X ) = 0. < 1.dx dy, y.dx dy, x.dx dy > = < c 1.xy 2.dx dy, xy.dx dy, y 2.dx dy >

28 Graded polarizations on primitive subspaces-consequences Theorem Assume f : C n+1 C is a holomorphic isolated singularity germ. The modified Grothendieck residue provides a polarization for the extended fiber Ω f, via the aforementioned isomorphism Φ. Moreover, there exists a unique set of forms { Res k } polarizing the primitive subspaces of Gr W k Ω f providing a graded polarization for Ω f. Res k = Res (id f k ) : PGr W k Ω f C PGr W k Ω f C, (8) Corollary The polarization S of H n (X ) will always define a polarization of Ω f, via the isomorphism Φ. In other words S is also a polarization in the extension, i.e. of Ω f.

29 Summary of results Theorem Assume f : C n+1 C is a holomorphic hypersurface germ with isolated singularity at 0 C n+1. The variation of mixed Hodge structure is polarized. This VMHS can be extended to the puncture with the extended fiber isomorphic to Ω f, and it is polarized. The Hodge filtration on the new fiber Ω f correspond to an opposite Hodge filtration on H n (X, C).

30 Riemann-Hodge bilinear relations for Grothendieck pairing on Ω f - new result Corollary: Assume the holomorphic isolated singularity Milnor fibration f : X T can be embedded in a projective fibration of degree d with d >> 0. Suppose f is the corresponding map to N on H n (X ), via the isomorphism Φ. Define P l = PGr W l Going to W -graded pieces; := ker(f l+1 : Gr W l Ω f Gr W l 2 Ω f ) Res l : PGrl W Ω f C PGrl W Ω f C (9) is non-degenerate and according to Lefschetz decomposition Grl W Ω f = r f r P l 2r

31 we obtain a set of non-degenerate bilinear forms, Res l = Res (id f l ) : PGrl W Ω f C PGrl W Ω f C, (10) Res l = res f,0 (id C. f l ) (11) such that the corresponding hermitian form associated to these bilinear forms is positive definite. In other words, Res l (x, y) = 0, If x 0 in P l, x P r, y P s, r s Const res f,0 (C l x, C. f l. x) > 0 where C l is the corresponding Weil operator.

32 Real splitting of a MHS MHS (H, F, W ) and g = gl(h) = End C (H). g 1, 1 = {X; X(I p,q ) I r,s }. r p 1, s q 1 Theorem (P. Deligne) Given a mixed Hodge structure (W, F), there exists a unique δ g 1, 1 R (W, F) s.t. (W, e iδ.f) is a mixed Hodge structure which splits over R. Theorem The bigrading J p,q 1 defined by J p,q 1 := e i.δ.j p,q is split over R. The operator C 1 = Ad(e i.δ ). C : Ω f Ω f defines a real splitting MHS on Ω f.

33 This says if Ω f,1 = p<q J p,q 1 then Ω f = Ω f,1 Ω f,1 p J p,p 1, Jp,p 1 = J p,p 1 The relation (7) is valid when the operator C is replaced with C 1 ; S(Φ 1 (ω), Φ 1 (η)) = res f,0 (ω, C 1.η), and this equality is defined over R. 0 C

34 Hodge index for Grothendieck pairing-new result Theorem The signature associated to the modified Grothendieck pairing Res f,0 associated to an isolated hypersurface singularity germ f ; is equal to the signature of the polarization form associated to the MHS of the vanishing cohomology given by σ = p+q=n+2 ( 1) q h pq p+q n+3 ( 1) q h pq 1 + ( 1) q h pq 1 (12) where h 1 = dim H n (X ) 1, h 1 = dim H n (X ) 1 are the corresponding Hodge numbers. This signature is 0 when the fibers have odd dimensions.

35 Asymptotic Hodge theory Theorem (P. Deligne) Let V n be a variation of pure polarized Hodge structure of weight k, for which the associated limiting mixed Hodge structure is Hodge-Tate. Then the Hodge filtration F pairs with the shifted monodromy weight filtration W[ k], of V, to define a Hodge-Tate variation over a neighborhood of 0 in n. The form Res polarizes the complex variation of HS studied by G. Pearlstein-Fernandez in case of isolated hypersurface singularities.

36 Application to asymptotic Hodge theory-new result Theorem (G. Pearlstein-J. Fernandez) Let V be a variation of mixed Hodge structure, and V = p,q I p,q denotes the C -decomposition of V to the sum of C -subbundles, defined by point-wise application of Deligne theorem. Then the Hodge filtration F of V pairs with the increasing filtration Ū q = k F k q W k (13) to define an un-polarized CVHS.

37 Theorem Let V be an admissible variation of polarized mixed Hodge structure associated to a holomorphic germ of an isolated hyper-surface singularity. Set U = F W. (14) Then U extends to a filtration U of V by flat sub-bundles, which pairs with the limit Hodge filtration F of V, to define a polarized C-variation of Hodge structure, on a neighborhood of the origin. Corollary The mixed Hodge structure on the extended fiber Ω f, can be identified with Φ(U = F W )

38 Extensions of Hodge structure Suppose f : X T a degenerate family of of curves having isolated singularity. Suppose that J 1 (H 1 s ) = H 1 s,z \ H1 s,c /F 0 H 1 s,c J(H) = s S J 1 (H s ) here we have assumed the Hodge structures have weight -1, and dim(s) = 1.

39 Extensions of Hodge structure-new result On S we have an extension of integral local classes 0 H s J s Z s 0 On the Gauss-Manin systems we get 0 M N Q H S [n] 0 The extended Jacobian simply is X 0 = J 1 (Ω f ) = Ω f,z \ Ω f /F 0 Ω f Theorem The extension of a degenerate 1-parameter holomorphic family of Θ-divisors polarizing the Jacobian of curves in a projective fibration, is a Θ-divisor polarizing the extended Jacobian.

40 At the level of local systems, κ : H H C κ J : J J C : Q Q C At the level of Gauss-Manin systems, K : G G C[t, t 1 ] K J : N N C[t, t 1 ] : Q H S Q H S C[t, t 1 ] (15) (16)

41 Hypersurface rings A hyper-surface ring is a ring of the form R := P/(f ), where P is an arbitrary ring and f a non-zero divisor. Localizing we may assume P is a local ring of dimension n + 1. P = C{x 0,..., x n } and f a holomorphic germ, or P = C[x 0,..., x n ] and then f would be a polynomial. We assume 0 C n+1 is the only singularity of f. the R-modules have a minimal resolution that is eventually 2-periodic.

42 Hochster Theta Invariant Definition (Hochster Theta pairing) The theta pairing of two R-modules M and N over a hyper-surface ring R/(f ) is Θ(M, N) := l(tor2k R (M, N)) l(tor 2k+1 R (M, N)), k >> 0 Hochster theta pairing is additive on short exact sequences, Theorem (Moore-Piepmeyer-Spiroff-Walker) If f is homogeneous with isolated singularity at 0, and n odd the restriction of the pairing ( 1) (n+1)/2 Θ to im(ch n 1 2 ) : K (X) Q /α H(n 1)/2 (X, C) C.γ n 1 2 is positive definite. i.e. ( 1) (n+1)/2 Θ(v, v) 0 with equality holding if and only if v = 0. In this way θ is semi-definite on

43 Positivity of Hochster theta pairing/c-new result Theorem Let S be an isolated hypersurface singularity of dimension n over C. If n is odd, then ( 1) (n+1)/2 Θ is positive semi-definite on G(R) Q, i.e ( 1) (n+1)/2 Θ(M, M) 0.
