Abstract: We construct a Mixed Hodge Structure on the local complete ring of the representation scheme at the holonomy of a VHS on a compact K"ahler manifold and prove that the corresponding tautological representation is the holonomy of a VMHS. In order to carry out this construction we revisit the well-known work of Goldman and Millson on the deformation theory of representations of K"ahler groups.

Review text

Let \(X\) be a compact Kähler manifold, \(x \in X\) a base point and \(\rho : \pi_1(X,x) \to GL_N(\mathbb{C})\) the monodromy representation of a \(\mathbb{C}\)-variations of Hodge structures. Let \(T\) be the formal universal deformation space of \(\rho\), with structure sheaf \(\hat{\mathcal{O}}_T\) and maximal ideal \(m\). Denote by \(\rho_{T,n} : \pi_1(X,x) \to GL_N(\hat{\mathcal{O}}_T/m^n)\) the restriction of the universal deformation of \(\rho\). The main result of the article is the construction of a \(\mathbb{C}\)-variations of Hodge structures on \(X\), the monodromy representation of which is exactly \(\rho_{T,n}\) and the weight filtration of which is given by the powers of \(m\). The main motivation for this result is that it is used in the proof of linear Shafarevich conjecture [\textit{P. Eyssidieux}, \textit{L. Katzarkov}, \textit{T. Pantev} and \textit{M. Ramachandran}, ``Linear Shafarevich conjecture, \url{arXiv:0904.0693}]. Also, the result is a consequence of the construction of a mixed Hodge structure on the formal local ring of \(\rho\) in the variety of representations \(R(\pi(X,x), GL_N)\).
