Cohomology jump loci and absolute sets for singular varieties

Abstract: We extend the notion of absolute subsets of Betti moduli spaces of smooth algebraic varieties to the case of normal varieties. As a consequence we prove that twisted cohomology jump loci in rank one over a normal variety are a finite union of translated subtori. We show that the same holds for jump loci twisted by a unitary local system in the case where the underlying variety X is projective with H1(X,mathbbQ) pure of weight one. Lastly, we study the interaction of these loci with Hodge theoretic data naturally associated to the representation variety of fundamental groups of smooth projective varieties.


Let \(X\) be a complex algebraic variety and \(n\in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 1}\). The set of semisimple local systems of rank \(n\) on \(X\) is parametrized by the \(\mathbb{C}\)-points of a scheme \(M_B(X,n)\), called the Betti moduli space. The topological properties of the space \(X\) are reflected in the structure of \(M_B(X,n)\) and of naturally defined subsets therein, in particular, of the cohomology jump loci. The author extends the notion of absolute subsets of Betti moduli spaces of smooth algebraic varieties to the case of normal varieties. He proves that twisted cohomology jump loci in rank one over a normal variety are a finite union of translated subtori and shows that the same holds for jump loci twisted by a unitary local system in the case where the underlying variety \(X\) is projective with \(H^1(X,\mathbb{Q})\) pure of weight one. Finally, he studies the interaction of these loci with Hodge theoretic data naturally associated to the representation variety of fundamental groups of smooth projective varieties.
