Curvature of classifying spaces for Brieskorn lattices (Q955123)

TERP-structures are generalizations of variations of Hodge structures, and they occur naturally in the theory of isolated hypersurface singularities, and more specifically, the Fourier-Laplace transformation of their Brieskorn lattices. They are also closely related to the theory of harmonic bundles via twistor bundles. In this paper the authors study \(tt^*\)-geometry on the classifying space for regular singular TERP-structures. They prove that this classifying space can be canonically equipped with a hermitian structure and derive an estimate for the holomorphic sectional curvature of the corresponding hermitian metric. The result is an analogue of a similar result for classifying spaces of pure polarized Hodge structures.
