Patching local uniformizations
In certain cases the invertibility of a polynomial map F = (P,Q): ℂ²→ ℂ² can be characterized by the irreducibility and the rationality of the curves aP+bQ = 0, (a:b) ∈ ℙ¹.
In this paper we emphasize Deligne's theory of weights, in order to prove that some stratifications of algebraic varieties are perfect. In particular, we study in some detail the Bialynicki-Birula's stratifications and the stratifications considered by F. Kirwan to compute the cohomology of symplectic or geometric quotients. Finally we also appoint the motivic formulation of this approach, which contains the Hodge theoretic formulation.
We study period integrals of CY hypersurfaces in a partial flag variety. We construct a regular holonomic system of differential equations which govern the period integrals. By means of representation theory, a set of generators of the system can be described explicitly. The results are also generalized to CY complete intersections. The construction of these new systems of differential equations has lead us to the notion of a tautological system.
We describe a method of calculation of all physical algebraic-geometrical solutions of KP-equations.
