Period mapping associated to a primitive form (Q794036)

The author gives a summary of the study of Gauss-Manin connection of a Hamiltonian system, higher residue pairing, primitive forms and period mapping associated with a universal unfolding of an isolated hypersurface singularity. As recent developments in the subject, he shows how to reduce the existence of primitive forms to the existence of certain good section of the ''principal symbol module'' \(q_*\Omega_ F\) into the \({\mathcal E}(0)\)-module \({\mathcal H}^ 0_ F\). This result enables one to construct primitive forms for a large class of singularities. In the final paragraph, by using solutions of a certain self-dual holonomic system, he defines a period mapping associated to a primitive form for a universal unfolding of a hypersurface isolated singular point.
