Néron models for admissible normal functions (Q2448737)

In the recent past, the authors have successfully investigated the degeneration of mixed Hodge structures via the methods of log geometry. This paper is a sequel in their program. Consider a Hausdorff complex analytic space \(S\) with a normal crossing divisor \(S \setminus S^{\ast}\) and an admissible normal function \(\nu\) over \(S^{\ast}\) with unipotent local monodromies. Here a Hausdorff and relative log manifold \( J \to S\) is constructed such that \(\nu\) extends to a section of this manifold over the boundary. The space \( J\) depends only on the local system \(L\) underlying \(\nu\) and therefore it is a Néron model for \(L\). If \(\nu\) has at most torsion singularities the result was already in [J. Algebr. Geom. 22, No. 4, 671--772 (2013; Zbl 1298.14017)], now the torsion condition has been removed.
