The Attractor Conjecture for Calabi-Yau variations of Hodge structures

Publication date 5 October 2020

Abstract: We study attractor points for Calabi-Yau variations of Hodge structures. In particular, for certain moduli spaces which are Shimura varieties, we prove that the attractor points are CM points, thus proving Moore's Attractor Conjecture in these cases. We also study non-BPS examples of attractors, obtaining special points on locally symmetric spaces without hermitian structures, as well as locally symmetric spaces inside Shimura varieties; for the latter we point out a possible analogy with subspaces studied by Goresky-Tai. Finally we give an explicit geometric description of non-BPS attractors in the simplest case.
