Abstract: Let $mathcal{M}_{n,2n+2}$ be the coarse moduli space of CY manifolds arising from a crepant resolution of double covers of $mathbb{P}^n$ branched along $2n+2$ hyperplanes in general position. We show that the monodromy group of a good family for $mathcal{M}_{n,2n+2}$ is Zariski dense in the corresponding symplectic or orthogonal group if $ngeq3$. In particular, the period map does not give a uniformization of any partial compactification of the coarse moduli space as a Shimura variety whenever $ngeq3$. This disproves a conjecture of Dolgachev. As a consequence, the fundamental group of the coarse moduli space of $m$ ordered points in $mathbb{P}^n$ is shown to be large once it is not a point. Similar Zariski-density result is obtained for moduli spaces of CY manifolds arising from cyclic covers of $mathbb{P}^n$ branched along $m$ hyperplanes in general position. A classification towards the geometric realization problem of B. Gross for type $A$ bounded symmetric domains is given.
