Differential Equations associated to Families of Algebraic Cycles
We develop a theory of differential equations associated to families of algebraic cycles in higher Chow groups (i.e., motivic cohomology groups). This formalism is related to inhomogenous Picard–Fuchs type differential equations. For a families of K3 surfaces the corresponding non–linear ODE turns out to be similar to Chazy’s equation.
