Variation of mixed Hodge structure and its applications
Osamu Fujino, Taro Fujisawa
TL;DR
The paper develops a robust complex-analytic framework for variations of $\mathbb{R}$-mixed Hodge structures arising from projective morphisms of complex analytic spaces, proving an analytic analogue of Kollár's torsion-freeness, vanishing, and semipositivity results without invoking Saito's mixed Hodge modules. It constructs canonical extensions along simple normal crossing divisors, shows local freeness and dualities for $R^i f_*(\omega_{X/Y}(D))$ and related sheaves, and extends Kollár-type results to reducible spaces to support minimal model theory in the analytic setting. The approach relies on the theory of variations of mixed Hodge structure, spectral sequence degeneration, and a semisimplicial resolution framework, complemented by a supplementary Kostant-type construction for rational structures. The results provide foundational tools for semipositivity, vanishing, and torsion-freeness in the analytic MMP and have implications for moduli and quasi-log structures in complex analytic geometry.
Abstract
We discuss variations of mixed Hodge structure arising from projective morphisms of complex analytic spaces. Then we treat generalizations of Kollár's torsion-free theorem, vanishing theorem, and so on, for reducible complex analytic spaces as an application. The results will play a crucial role in the theory of minimal models for projective morphisms between complex analytic spaces.
