Title |
Generalizing the Satake-Baily-Borel compactification |
Abstract |
The SBB compactification realizes a locally Hermitian symmetric space as an open, dense subset of a projective algebraic variety. I will discuss a generalization of this construction to obtain a “horizontal completion” (not a compactification) of an arithmetic quotient of a Mumford-Tate domain. The later are generalizations of period domains and I will also discuss the connections with Hodge theory and moduli. |
