The asymptotic behavior of a variation of polarized Hodge structure (Q1076749): Difference between revisions

The purpose of this paper is to give the asymptotic behavior of variation of polarized Hodge structures in the several-dimensional case. When \textit{S. Zucker} [Ann. Math., II. Ser. 109, 415-476 (1979; Zbl 0446.14002)] proved that the cohomology groups of a variation of Hodge structure on the compact curve with finite singular points have also a Hodge structure, he was obliged to use the result by \textit{W. Schmid} [Invent. Math. 22, 211-319 (1973; Zbl 0278.14003)] on the asymptotic behavior of the variation of Hodge structures at a singularity. In order to generalize Zucker's result for varieties of higher dimension, the author first tried to generalize Schmid's result to a higher dimensional case and got the result succcessfully in this paper. The same result is obtained by \textit{E. Cattani, A. Kaplan} and \textit{W. Schmid}, in a different way almost simultaneously.
