Abstract:
We derive upper bounds on the dimension of a variation of Hodge structure of weight two and show that these bounds are sharp. Using them we exhibit maximal geometric variations of Hodge structure. Analogous results for higher weight are obtained in the presence of a nondegeneracy hypothesis, and variations coming from hypersurfaces are shown to be nondegenerate. Maximal geometric variations of higher weight are also constructed.References
