Weak global Torelli theorem for certain weighted projective hypersurfaces (Q1084464)

One studies the period map for weighted projective hypersurfaces. The main results concern two types of such hypersurfaces: k-sheeted branched coverings of \({\mathbb{P}}^ r\) and hyperelliptic fiber spaces over \({\mathbb{P}}^ r\) (equivalently, Veronese double cones in a sense given by the author in the paper). One shows firstly the existence of the associated moduli space M, one defines a period map \(p: M\to G\setminus D,\) one proves the existence of regular values for p and the local Torelli theorem. As main result, one proves the weak global Torelli theorem: the period map p has degree one onto its image (except of some special cases). The paper extends the work of \textit{R. Donagi} [Compos. Math. 50, 325-353 (1983; Zbl 0598.14007)] which considers hypersurfaces in projective spaces.
