definition 0.0.1 [Mirror symmetry motivation notes]
Let \(S\) be a complex manifold. An integral variation of Hodge structure of weight \(k\) on \(S\) consists of a torsion-free local system \(\mathbb H_{\ZZ}\) of finitely generated \(\ZZ\)-modules, together with a decreasing filtration by holomorphic subbundles \[ \mathcal H=F^0\mathcal H\supset F^1\mathcal H\supset \cdots \] of \[ \mathcal H:=\mathbb H_{\ZZ}\otimes_{\ZZ}\mathcal O_S. \] The local system induces a flat connection \[ \nabla:\mathcal H\to \mathcal H\otimes \Omega_S^1. \] For every \(s\in S\), the filtration \(F^\bullet_s\) is required to define a pure Hodge structure of weight \(k\) on \(\mathbb H_{\ZZ,s}\), equivalently \[ \mathbb H_{\CC,s}=\bigoplus_{p+q=k}H^{p,q}_s, \qquad (F^p\mathcal H)_s=\bigoplus_{r\geq p}H^{r,k-r}_s. \] The filtration is also required to satisfy Griffiths transversality: \[ \nabla F^p\mathcal H\subset F^{p-1}\mathcal H\otimes \Omega_S^1. \] A smooth proper Kähler family \(\pi:\mathcal X\to S\) gives such a variation on \(R^k\pi_*\ZZ/\mathrm{tors}\). For mirror symmetry of Calabi--Yau threefolds, the central example is usually the variation on \(H^3\).Connections
