Abstract

It is well-known that, aside from algebraic curves, abelian varieties, and a few other isolated cases such as K3 surfaces, the period matrices of a family of algebraic varieties satisfy non-trivial universal infinitesimal period relations. In this note we shall discuss some remarkable properties of any local solution to the differential system given by the infinitesimal period relation associated to polarized Ilodge structures of weight three with Ilodge number h 3,0 = 1.
