Current Developments in Hodge Theory

This book brings together contributions by top-level experts from a wide range of topics in modern Hodge theory, originating in the authors’ participation in the special years on Hodge theory at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences of the Americas (IMSA) in Miami.

One of the main themes is the study of moduli spaces and their compactifications. Several articles speak of the singularities occuring in the boundaries of geometrical or Hodge-theoretic compactifications, semistable reduction, the implications of canonical models for model theory in the sense of logic, and fundamental groups of moduli spaces and their associated Torelli groups. Other topics include Mukai lattices, derived moduli spaces, foliations, Higgs bundles and hyperbolicity, the study of pseudoconvexity properties of neighborhoods of infinity, contributions to the theory of degenerations and limiting mixed Hodge structures.

This text will provide an indispensable reference for research mathematicians and specialist graduate students, where the modern approaches to moduli spaces are illustrated by their realizations and applications in examples of interest for the interplay between Hodge theory and moduli spaces.
