Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Complex analytic Neron models
Speakers
Details
I will present a global construction of the Neron model for degenerating families of intermediate Jacobians; a classical case would be families of abelian varieties. The construction is based on Saito's theory of mixed Hodge modules; a nice feature is that it works in any dimension, and does not require normal crossing or unipotent monodromy assumptions. As a corollary, we obtain a new proof for the theorem of Brosnan-Pearlstein that, on an algebraic variety, the zero locus of an admissible normal function is an algebraic subvariety.
