Title

Hyperbolicity of base spaces of certain families

Abstract

Hyperbolicity is an interesting property of varieties both analytically and algebraically. I will make a recall of several hyperbolicity conjectures and related results, especially hyperbolicity of moduli spaces. Then I will discuss hyperbolicity of base spaces of families of smooth general type varieties, which would imply brody hyperbolicity of some moduli. The main technical tools we used are Hodge modules and Higgs sheaves. If time permitted I will discuss how they could be applied to solve the hyperbolicity problems for families. This is joint work with Mihnea Popa and Behrouz Taji.
