Geometric Variations of Local Systems and Elliptic Surfaces
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: Geometric variations of local systems are families of variations of Hodge structure; they typically correspond to fibrations of K"{a}hler manifolds for which each fibre itself is fibred by codimension one K"{a}hler manifolds. In this article, we introduce the formalism of geometric variations of local systems and then specialize the theory to study families of elliptic surfaces. We interpret a construction of twisted elliptic surface families used by Besser-Livn'{e} in terms of the middle convolution functor, and use explicit methods to calculate the variations of Hodge structure underlying the universal families of -polarized K3 surfaces. Finally, we explain the connection between geometric variations of local systems and geometric isomonodromic deformations, which were originally considered by the first author in 1999.
