Title |
Quotients of non-classical flag domains are not algebraic. |
Abstract |
The title refers to a class of homogeneous complex manifolds which includes the period domains for Hodge structures of weight at least two. The absence of automorphic forms for higher weight variations of Hodge structure suggests the theorem in the title. This talk will present a proof of this theorem, which requires some interesting geometry of non-classical domains. This is joint work with Phillip Griffiths and Colleen Robles. |
