Ax-Schanuel for variations of mixed Hodge structures
Kenneth Chung Tak Chiu
Abstract
We give properties of the real-split retraction of the mixed weak Mumford-Tate domain and prove the Ax-Schanuel property of period mappings arising from variations of mixed Hodge structures. An ingredient in the proof is the definability of the mixed period mapping obtained by Bakker-Brunebarbe-Klingler-Tsimerman. In comparison with preceding results, in the point counting step, we count rational points on definable quotients instead.
