What is a mixed Hodge module?

Informal Friday Seminar

Title: What is a mixed Hodge module?

Speaker: Dougal Davis, The University of Melbourne

Abstract: Classical Hodge theory uses analysis to endow the cohomology of a complex variety with an additional “Hodge structure”. This turns out to have profound consequences in algebraic geometry and beyond. Saito’s theory of mixed Hodge modules upgrades this from cohomology to sheaves. In this talk, I’ll explain the rudiments of this theory, and indicate some of the things you can do with it.
